Abstract
We present a patient who developed skin lesions typical of disseminated superficial porokeratosis (DSP) while on immunosuppressive therapy for pemphigus foliaceus. Phototesting with artificial light sources did not have any effect on the DSP lesions. The literature describing occurrence of DSP on immunosuppression is reviewed and possible pathogenetic mechanisms are discussed.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
