Porokeratosis of Mibelli with underlying hemangioma treated by the flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser.

Abstract
Porokeratosis of Mibelli is a disorder of epidermal proliferation in which an abnormal clone of cells expands in a centrifugal manner. We present a case of porokeratosis of Mibelli with an underlying hemangioma that was treated with a 585 nm flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser. The underlying hemangioma responded well to laser therapy while the porokeratosis remained unchanged. The implications of this for the pathogenesis of porokeratosis and the specificity of the pulsed dye laser are discussed.
