Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Medical Genetics

Background:

  • Acrokeratoelastoidosis of Costa is a rare papular palmoplantar keratosis.
  • It presents as small, yellowish papules on the hands and feet.
  • Both autosomal dominant and sporadic forms exist.

Observation:

  • A sporadic case of acrokeratoelastoidosis in a 13-year-old girl is presented.
  • The condition is characterized by hyperkeratosis and epidermal hypertrophy.
  • Histological examination reveals fragmentation and rarefaction of elastic fibers.

Findings:

  • The case highlights a sporadic occurrence of this rare keratosis.
  • Review of literature on etiology, differential diagnosis, and treatment is included.

Implications:
