Abstract

Superficial disseminated porokeratosis is part of a group of diseases where there is epidermal keratinization disorder, it is characterized by numerous lesions whose boundaries are given by a wall keratotic. The description of new dermoscopic patterns has been increasingly reported and its contribution in this dermatosis is a reality. The authors describe a typical case of the disease, present their dermoscopic findings, comparing with what there is described in the literature and include the presence of enlarged pores within the lesions as an additional finding in the characterization of the disease.
