Pediatric penile porokeratosis: A case report

Omar Bari et al. Pediatr Dermatol. 2018 Mar.

Abstract

We present what we believe to be the second case of pediatric penile porokeratosis and the youngest case reported. A 6-year-old boy presented with a pruritic, verrucous growth at the urethral meatus that recurred after two meatotomies. The diagnosis of porokeratosis was confirmed by biopsy. Porokeratosis should be added to the differential diagnosis of chronic hyperkeratotic penile lesions in children.

Keywords: condyloma acuminata; genital; pediatric; penile; porokeratosis.
