Abstract
In 1893 Mibelli1and Respighi2simultaneously called attention to a form of dermatosis not previously described. To this condition Mibelli gave the name of "porokeratosis," while Respighi termed it "hyperkeratosis eccentrica." During the twenty-seven years that have intervened since the first description of this affection, not over sixty cases have been reported in the literature. In this country in particular the condition is extremely rare, cases having been published only by Hutchins, Gilchrist, Wende and Heidingsfeld. Since 1898 no authentic case of porokeratosis occurring in the United States has been reported, Heidingsfeld's in 1905 only simulating the condition histologically. The following case was seen recently in this hospital. REPORT OF CASE History.— The patient, a Greek, 40 years old, entered the dermatological service of the University Hospital because of lesions on the hands, buttocks, legs and feet. He described lesions corresponding exactly to those he presented as occurringKeywords
