Keratosis Punctata of the palmar creases. A report on three generations, demonstrating an association with ichthyosis vulgaris and evidence of involvement acrosyringium

Abstract

Five patients in the same family showed small keratotic plugs of the palmar creases. Transmission in lineage was consistent with an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. The syndrome was highly associated with ichthyosis vulgaris in several members of the family. The histopathology in two patients revealed a close relation between the plugs and the acrosyringium.
