- Abstract
Porokeratosis ptychotropica is an unusual variant of porokeratosis characterized by papules and plaques located on the buttocks and gluteal cleft and showing multiple coronoid lamellae on histology. In this case report, we present the longitudinal clinical course of porokeratosis ptychotropica in a pediatric patient with individual red‐brown hyperkeratotic lesions that enlarged and became confluent prior to surgical intervention. We also discuss the etiology of porokeratosis ptychotropica and review current as well as future treatment options for the disease.
