Palmoplantar keratodermas are divided into autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive groups by the mode of transmission. The autosomal dominantly transmitted group is further divided into epidermolytic and nonepidermolytic types according to the histological findings. Hereditary epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma manifests clinically as a localized thickening of the palms and soles. Herein we report a 29-year-old woman showing the typical clinical and histologic features of epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma without family history. This case could be spontaneous mutations that will later breed a true autosomal dominant trait.

The hereditary epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (Vorner"s kerato derma) is characterized by autosomal dominantly inherited, marked, symmetrical thickening of the palms and soles. The presence of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis in skin biopsy differentiates hereditary epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma from Unna-Thost keratoderma. We report a case of hereditary epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma with literature reviews focused on the differential points from other palmoplantar keratodermas.

We reviewed two cases of keratosis punctata palmaris et plantaris(KPP) and the scanning electron microscopic findings(SEM). The skin lesions of KPP are multiple, hyperkeratotic on the palms and soles with central pitting. There was no subjective symptoms. The histologic findigs revea,l marked hyperkeratosis, hypergranulosis, and acanthosis with depression of the underlying malpighian layers. The SEM findings reveal one hyperkeratoic plug on punctate lesion(case I ) and three hyperkeratotic plugs on depression of the malpighian layer(case ll ).

Arsenic is a known human carcinogen and skin manifestations are the earliest and most specific markers of chronic arsenic poisoning. A 43-year-old man from Luzon presented at the Section of Dermatology with a one-year history of hyperkeratotic papules and plaques on the palms and soles. Numerous round hypopigmented macules were scattered on the upper back. Initial 24-hour urine arsenic level was elevated at 288mcg/liter. The patient underwent successful chelation with N-acetylpenicillamine and the palmoplantar keratoses were treated with cryotherapy and topical 20% salicylic acid in white petrolatum. In cooperation with the Department of Health, a comprehensive health and environmental assessment was conducted in the affected communities. This case highlights the role of dermatologists in the diagnosis and management of this public health problem.

Acrokeratoelastoidosis of Costa is a rare palmoplantar keratoderma with autosomal dominant inheritance. It is clinically charaeterized by small, firm, yellowish, shiny, translucent papules occumng over the dorsal hands, the knuckles, and the lateral margine of the palms and soles. Histologically, the characteristic features are hyperkeratosis, aeanthosis, and most strikingly, fragmentation of coarse elastic fibers within the dermis. The lesions usually begin in early childhood and progress slowly. We herein report two familial cases of acrokeratoelastoidosis of Costa showing typical clinic1 and histopathological features.

Punctate palmoplantar keratoderma(PPK) is a rare disease, characterized by small, hard hyperkeratotic papules which are irregularly distributed on the palms and soles. PPK is an autosomal dominant disease with variable penetrance. We report a case of sporadic case of punctate palmoplantar keratoderma in a 26-year-old female patient.

Palmoplantar keratoderma is characterized clinically by excessive thickening of the skin and histologically by hyperkeratosis on the palms and soles. It can be classified based on inheritance patterns, causes, clinical presentation, and extent of involvement. Acquired palmoplantar keratoderma shows multifactorial etiology including exposure to certain chemicals or drugs, metabolic disorders, malnutrition, systemic disease, malignancy, dermatosis, and/or infection. We report a rare case of acquired palmoplantar keratoderma induced by malnutrition.

Punctate palmoplantar keratoderma(PPK), also called Buschke-Fisher-Brauer disease, is an autosomal dominant disease with variable penetrance. Clinically there are multiple tiny punctate keratoses over the entire palmoplantar surfaces. Lesions are discrete and diffuse, may be symmetrical, and may be few or many in number. We report a case of punctate palmoplantar keratoderma in 20-year-old female patient.
