Abstract
Porokeratosis is a heterogeneous group of keratinising disorders characterised by the presence of particular microscopic structural changes, namely the presence of the cornoid lamella. This structure develops as a consequence of a defective isoprenoid pathway, critical for cholesterol synthesis. Commonly recognised variants include disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis, disseminated superficial porokeratosis, porokeratosis of Mibelli, palmoplantar porokeratosis (including porokeratosis palmaris et plantaris disseminata and punctate porokeratosis), linear porokeratosis, verrucous porokeratosis (also known as genitogluteal porokeratosis), follicular porokeratosis and porokeratoma. Apart from the clinical presentation and epidemiology of each variant listed, this review aims at providing up-to-date information on the precise genetic background, introduces imaging methods facilitating the diagnosis (conventional and ultraviolet-induced fluorescence dermatoscopy, reflectance confocal microscopy and pathology), discusses their oncogenic potential and reviews the literature data on the efficacy of the treatment used, including the drugs directly targeting the isoprenoid-mevalonate pathway.

Abstract
Porokeratosis ptychotropica is an uncommon form of porokeratosis, which was initially described in 1995. It is clinically characterized by symmetrical reddish to brown-colored hyperkeratotic, verrucous, or psoriasiform plaques on the perianal and gluteal regions. The lesions tend to integrate and expand centrally, with small peripheral satellite lesions. Early skin biopsy and appropriate diagnosis are essential because malignant change occurs in 7.5% of porokeratotic lesions. Conventional treatment options include topical steroid, retinoid, imiquimod, 5-fluorouracil, isotretinoin, excimer laser, photodynamic therapy, intralesional steroid or bleomycin injection, cryotherapy, carbon dioxide (CO2) laser, and dermatome and excision, but none seem to achieve complete clearance. A 68-year-old woman presented with diffuse hyperkeratotic scaly lichenoid plaques on the buttocks that had persisted for several years. A skin biopsy of the buttocks revealed multiple cornoid lamellae and intense hyperkeratosis. There were some dyskeratotic cells beneath the cornoid lamellae and the granular layer was absent. Porokeratosis ptychotropica was diagnosed based on the characteristic clinical appearance and typical histopathological manifestations. She was treated with a CO2 laser in one session and topical application of urea and imiquimod cream for 1 month. The lesions slightly improved at the 1-month follow-up. We herein present a rare case of porokeratosis ptychotropica.

Abstract
RATIONALE Porokeratosis ptychotropica represents an unusual form of porokeratosis characterized by symmetrical dyskeratotic skin lesions on the gluteal clefts. Herein, we report a case of porokeratosis ptychotropica. PATIENT CONCERNS A 33-year-old man, who complained of itching papules and plaques in the gluteal cleft and the buttocks for the last 7 years. Clinical examination showed a large well-defined reddish brown verrucous plaque located on both buttocks along with satellite papules on the inner thigh. Dermoscopy and histopathological findings were consistent with porokeratosis. DIAGNOSIS He was diagnosed with porokeratosis ptychotropica. OUTCOMES No significant improvement was observed following treatment with oral acitretin and a topical retinoid. LESSONS The case report highlights the need for awareness amongst dermatologists for porokeratosis ptychotropica as a differential diagnosis for pruritic papules in the gluteal fold.

Abstract
A 74-year-old man was referred with a 10-year history of a plaque on the left buttock. Prior to presentation to dermatology, he had undergone biopsy under plastic surgery for a presumptive diagnosis of psoriasis, but histology was nonspecific. Further clinical examination and repeat biopsies were needed for the diagnosis.

Abstract
Porokeratosis ptychotropica is a rare form of porokeratosis characterized by dyskeratotic skin lesions around genital area or gluteal cleft. Herein, a case of porokeratosis ptychotropica was reported. The patient was a 35-year-old man, who complained of pruritic papules and plaques in the perianal and buttock region for thirteen years. On examination, well-demarcated brown plaques with a verrucous white surface and multiple satellite papules were located along the gluteal folds and buttocks sparing the anus. Histopathological examination was consistent with porokeratosis. Combined with clinical manifestations and histopathologic changes, the patient was diagnosed as porokeratosis ptychotropica. He was treated with oral acitretin 30mg/d and CO2 laser treatment, but the lesions showed no evident improvement after three months. Although it is not a new case, this condition is an extremely rare one that must be reviewed and emphasized. The dermatologist should keep porokeratosis ptychotropica in mind as one differential diagnosis for pruritic papules in the anogenital region.

Abstract
Porokeratosis (PK) is defined as hyperpigmented macules or patches with a distinctive, ridge-like hyperkeratotic border which is histologically characterized by a cornoid lamella. Here, we report two cases of linear porokeratosis which converted to multiple cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma after long history progression. In addition, patient 2 was accompanied by secondary dermal amyloid deposits, which was rare reported.

Abstract
Porokeratosis ptychotropica (PP) is a rare variant of porokeratosis characterized by pruritic, symmetrical, red-brown verrucous papules, and plaques most commonly localized within the gluteal fold. Herein, we report the clinical, dermoscopy, and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) aspects of a case of PP in a 63-year-old Caucasian woman along with histopathological correlation. Both dermoscopy and RCM were able to recognize the cornoid lamella, the histopathological clue shared by all clinical variants of porokeratosis. These non-invasive techniques may help in the differential diagnosis with other inflammatory/infectious and neoplastic disorders that may clinically resemble PP, but show distinct patterns.

In this case report, we present the longitudinal clinical course of porokeratosis ptychotropica in a pediatric patient with individual red-brown hyperkeratotic lesions that enlarged and became confluent prior to surgical intervention. We also discuss the etiology of porokeratosis ptychotropica and review current as well as future treatment options for the disease.

Abstract
Since its description in 1995, porokeratosis ptychotropica (PP) has remained a less-recognized variant of porokeratosis (PK). The term porokeratosis ptychotropica was coined in reference to its characteristic of affecting body folds. It mimics many other dermatological diseases and is therefore often misdiagnosed. We report a patient with multiple hyperkeratotic, warty lesions across the buttocks that mimicked cutaneous tuberculosis (CTB), but histological examination confirmed the correct diagnosis of PP.
