Porokeratosis is an uncommon disorder that affects keratinization. Immunosuppression may favor the development of porokeratotic lesions. Patients who receive allogenic transplants represent a therapeutic challenge to dermatologists. We report two cases of porokeratosis in children with bone marrow transplant and their excellent response to imiquimod and photodynamic therapy.
