- Abstract
The article presents a case study of acrokerato-elastoidosis in a woman and her two sons. The woman was aged 36 years. Abnormal thickening of the skin of the palms and soles was first noted at the age of two. This gradually increased in severity and has never improved. She also has had small patches of eczema at the finger tips at times. Two of the patient's three sons had a similar abnormality of the palms and soles but as yet the lesions were less well developed. There was a palmo-plantar keratoderma with isolated hyperkeratotic papules on the backs of the fingers and on the lateral margins of the hands, like those in acrokeratoelastoidosis.
