Zusammenfassung:We report the case of a patient diagnosed with genitogluteal porokeratosis, a disorder of epidermal keratinization. The location described is extremely rare and very often late diagnosed or even misdiagnosed. Histopathology showed a typical cornoid lamella of great value to support this diagnosis. The importance of awareness of this entity by the specialist is emphasized as a differential diagnosis among genital diseases of chronic evolution and difficult treatment.Relata-se o caso de um paciente com diagnóstico de poroqueratose genitoglútea, uma desordem da queratinização epidérmica, cuja localização exclusiva é extremamente rara, sendo muitas vezes tardia ou erroneamente diagnosticada. A histopatologia demonstra a clássica lamela cornóide, de grande valia para elucidação diagnóstica. Ressalta-se a importância do conhecimento desta entidade pelo especialista como diagnóstico diferencial entre as afecções genitais de evolução arrastada e de difícil tratamento.
