This case illustrates the clinical heterogeneity of porokeratosis (PK), with a patient presenting with both disseminated superficial actinic PK-like facial lesions and PK of Mibelli-like lesions on the buttocks and lower limbs. Ultraviolet exposure, infection, and immunosuppression may contribute to the manifestation of multiple clinical forms in a single patient. Close monitoring for potential malignant transformation is essential, particularly in elderly patients with long disease duration and a history of oncological conditions.
