Abstract Porokeratosis is a heterogeneous group of keratinization disorders characterized by papules and plaques with central atrophy and a hyperkeratotic margin. We describe a woman who had DSAP or disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis, whose lesions appeared as itchy plaques and papules. Clinical evidence suggested the diagnosis and histologically confirmed. The pruritus brought on by the condition was treated symptomatically, her skin lesions will be clinically monitored. This rare dermatosis requires clinical and histopathological correlation to diagnose at an early stage and to avoid under-reporting.
