Abstract
Porokeratosis of Mibelli (PM) is a clonal disorder of keratinization. It clinically presents with one or more annular plaques with central atrophy and elevated keratotic borders. With a 7.5 percent risk of malignancy, PM should be treated to prevent transformation into squamous cell carcinoma, Bowen disease, or basal cell carcinoma. Multiple treatment options are available, however, there is not one universally effective treatment. We describe the successful treatment of porokeratosis of Mibelli of the left calf in an 83-year-old man with topical 5 percent imiquimod and topical 5 percent 5-fluorouracil.
