Abstract:
We present a case of Kyrle's disease. The pstient was a 48-year-old male who had been undergoing hemodialysis for 6 years due to chronic renal failure caused by polycystic kidney. The lesions were hyperkeratotic papules on the lower legs and abdomen witb 3 months' duration. Histopathologically, the epidermis showed central invsgination filled with heavy keratotic, partly parakeratotic plug, basophilic debris and neutrophils. There were a few premature keratinized cells below the parakeratotic plugs and complete epidermal perforation was present.
