Abstract
Porokeratosis is characterized clinically by annular plaques with a distinct peripheral keratotic ridge and histologically by the cornoid lamella. Porokeratosis with follicular involvement is rarely reported. To provide the basis of that follicular porokeratosis is a clinical variant or not. Biopsy was taken from three patients who were diagnosed porokeratosis. Routine stain was made and reviewed the literatures about well-documented cases of porokeratosis with follicular involvement. Porokeratosis with follicular involvement may have some clinical features: asymptomatic, erythematous, brownish or skin-color, less than 1 cm in the areas excluding palm and plantar, which commonly involved on middle-age. But there have still not enough proof as an independent clinical variant.
