Br J Dermatol. 1987 Jan;116(1):113-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2133.1987.tb05798.x.

Abstract

Four cases of disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis are described, all in patients who had been given immunosuppressive treatment, which might have been a contributing factor in the development of the condition. The possible relationship of immunosuppressive actinic porokeratosis to viral infection is also discussed.
