Abstract:
Spiny keratoderma is a dermatosis consisting of multiple projections located on the palms and soles with a distinct histology characteristic of a parakeratotic column. This disease has been associated with various underlying benign or malignant diseases. We report a case of a 72-year-old female patient with spiny keratoderma associated with diabetes mellitus and hypothyroidism.
