Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Histopathology

Background:

  • Costa's acrokeratoelastoidosis is a rare keratotic condition affecting the palms and soles.
  • Understanding its clinical and histological presentation is crucial for accurate diagnosis.

Observation:

  • An 18-year-old female presented with asymptomatic, waxy, keratotic papules on the thenar/hypothenar eminences and soles.
  • The lesions were localized and did not cause significant discomfort.

Findings:

  • Histological examination revealed hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, elastorrexis, and enlarged collagen fibers.
  • These findings are characteristic of Costa's acrokeratoelastoidosis.

Implications:

  • This case contributes to the understanding of Costa's acrokeratoelastoidosis in a young patient.
