Abstract     We report on a 54-year-old man with an unusual variant of porokeratosis that has been confirmed histologically. Nearly the whole skin surface was involved. On the heels and on the low extremities there were lesions of porokeratosis Mibelli of hypertrophic type with bizarre polycyclic configuration. On the upper extremities and on the trunk the skin lesions resembled an exaggerated variant of disseminated actinic porokeratosis. The lesions on the face were typical of the common type of the latter. Patient's father and elder brother have the same lesions but less pronounced. A systemic etretinate therapy during a period or 5 months was relatively successful. Because of the unusual clinical pattern the possibility of a new variant of porokeratosis is discussed.
