Acrokerato-elastoidosis: a case report

Abstract

Acrokerato-elastoidosis belongs to the group of diffuse palmo-plantar keratoses without associated symptoms. We report a 25-year-old man who has had typical skin lesions for 5 years. The histopathological changes are described. By electron microscopy, changes in dermal elastic fibres as previously reported in patients with acrokerato-elastoidosis were absent.
