Abstract

Giant porokeratosis is a rare condition in which the hyperkeratotic plaques of porokeratosis reach up to 20 cm in diameter. Porokeratosis is characterized clinically by hyperkeratotic papules or plaques with a thread-like elevated border. Although rare, porokeratosis has been reported in conjunction with malignancies suggesting a paraneoplastic nature. Associated malignancies reported were hematopoietic, hepatocellular, and cholangiocarcinoma. We report a case of giant porokeratosis in a patient with nasopharyngeal cancer responding to removal of the primary cancer by chemoradiotherapy.
