Porokeratosis was first described in 1893. It is a relatively rare disorder with over 9 subtypes. Lesions are clinically characterized as well-demarcated, erythematous papules (raised, <1 cm) or plaques (raised, >1 cm), with an atrophic center, and raised scaly border. Porokeratosis is an important diagnosis to identify because it may undergo malignant transformation and mimics many commonly encountered diagnoses. These commonly mimicked diagnoses include squamous cell carcinoma, tinea corporis, nummular dermatitis, and psoriasis vulgaris, to name a few. The clinical images in this review focus on identifying porokeratosis along the full spectrum of skin tones.

Histopathological examination is the gold standard for the diagnosis of nonmelanoma and melanoma skin cancer, but it is an invasive procedure that consumes time and requires large costs. The average cure rate for skin cancer is high with early detection and appropriate treatment. This is an article review that was made through findings from several scientific articles. There are several noninvasive imaging modality choices that can be used for screening at low cost, high quality, and faster result, which includes dermoscopy, optical coherence tomography, reflectance confocal microscopy, electrical impedance spectroscopy, multispectral imaging, and SIAscopy®. These imaging modalities can assist in …

Occupational skin cancer and precancerous lesions are skin disorders caused by exposure to chemical carcinogens such as polycyclic hydrocarbons and arsenic, or radiation, such as ultraviolet light and ionizing light in the workplace. Annual increase in skin cancer incidence is believed to be related to various factors such as frequent intense sunlight exposure (i.e. at work, recreational activities, and sun-tanning habit), ozone depletion, an increase in number of geriatric population, and an increase of public awareness in skin cancer. The most common occupational skin cancers are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Examples of occupational precancerous lesion of …
