Porokeratosis (PK) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by abnormal epidermal proliferation. Several clinical variants have been described, but coexistence of multiple variants in a single patient has been reported in only a few cases. We hereby report a case of multiple variants of PK (disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis over the face and the scalp presenting with scarring alopecia and verrucous PK over genital mucosa) involving multiple unusual body sites in a single patient.
