Giant porokeratosis (PK) is a rare entity. Many consider it as a variant of PK of Mibelli, while others describe it as a separate variant. The diameter may range between 10 and 12 cm and the wall of hyperkeratotic ridge may be upto 1 cm. High tropical temperature and long duration of outdoor activities without adequate clothing are known influencing factors of PK. To the best of our knowledge, only five cases of solitary giant PK and a case of disseminated giant PK have been documented from India. We report three cases of giant PK for their rarity.
巨大型汗孔角化症(PK)是一种罕见的病症。许多人认为它是米贝利汗孔角化症的一种变体,而其他人则将其描述为一种单独的变体。其直径可能在10至12厘米之间,角化过度嵴的壁可能高达1厘米。已知高温热带气候以及长时间户外活动且未穿着适当衣物是汗孔角化症的影响因素。据我们所知,印度仅记录了5例孤立性巨大型汗孔角化症病例和1例播散性巨大型汗孔角化症病例。我们报告3例巨大型汗孔角化症病例,因其罕见性。
