Summary: | Porokeratoses are a group of different entities that belong to the skin keratinization disorders. From the histological point of view the main and common characteristic of these disorders is the presence of compact parakeratotic columns known as cornoid lamellae.

We report the successful response to photodynamic therapy (PDT) in a pediatric patient diagnosed with linear porokeratosis. |
