Palmoplantar Keratodermas

Clinics in Dermatology, 2005
The palmoplantar skin is a highly specialized tissue which is able to resist mechanical trauma and other physical stress. In recent years the more descriptive classification of keratodermas has switched to an exact molecular genetic view where gene functions are considered.

Aquagenic palmoplantar keratoderma

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2001
Aquagenic palmoplantar keratoderma is an acquired condition characterized by burning and edema limited to the hands after brief immersion in water. The 3 patients described possess a striking similarity to those with transient reactive papulotranslucent acrokeratoderma.

The inherited palmoplantar keratodermas

British Journal of Dermatology, 1997
The inherited palmoplantar keratodermas (PPK) constitute a complex heterogeneous group of genodermatoses, which are difficult to classify clinically. The application of modern molecular biology techniques are leading to an increased understanding of the genetic bases of these disorders and are paving the way towards a classification based upon ...

Palmoplantar Keratoderma with Amyotrophy

Dermatologica, 2009
Four members of a South African Black family who have palmoplantar keratoderma with amyotrophy are reported. No neuromuscular defects have been found and the muscle thinning appears to result from disuse atrophy. Volar hyperhidrosis, nail abnormalities and in 2 cases knuckle pads, were additional features.

Acquired Palmoplantar Keratoderma

American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2007
Palmoplantar keratodermas (PPKs) are a diverse entity of disorders that are characterized by abnormal thickening of the skin on the palms and soles. Traditionally they have been classified as either hereditary or acquired and are distinguished from each other on the basis of mode of inheritance, presence of transgrediens (defined as contiguous ...

Circumscribed Palmoplantar Keratoderma

Australasian Journal of Dermatology, 1970
SUMMARYA case of focal tender thickening of the palms and soles, with associated abnormalities of the cornea, is described. It is believed to be an example of circumscribed palmo‐plantar keratoderma, of autosomal recessive inheritance. Possible mechanisms involved in the production of the lesions are considered, and an approach to treatment discussed.

Hereditary Palmoplantar Keratodermas

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, 2009
SummaryHereditary palmoplantar keratodermas (PPK) comprise a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of genodermatoses, which share impaired epidermal differentiation resulting in prominent palmoplantar hyperkeratosis. Classically, keratodermas have been separated according to their clinical appearance into diffuse, focal, and as a feature of ...

An unusual case of palmoplantar keratoderma

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, 2003
ABSTRACTA 55‐year‐old woman with palmoplantar keratoderma presented an associated hyperhidrosis with distinct odour and maceration. She had had the lesions for about 20 years and this seemed to be an isolated case in her family. This case appeared very unusual because there were no signs of acanthokeratolysis in the biopsies.
