Linear porokeratosis with underlying bony abnormalities

Cutis. 2002 Apr;69(4):309-12.

Abstract

A 58-year-old woman with linear porokeratosis involving the right hand and arm had distal digital narrowing and nail dystrophy with radiographic changes. Whereas isolated cases of bone resorption and flexion deformities with porokeratosis of Mibelli are known to occur, to our knowledge, bony abnormalities in association with linear porokeratosis have not been reported.
