Acrokeratoelastoidosis (AKE) is a rare skin condition. This case suggests genetic mosaicism may cause unilateral AKE, offering insights into its rare presentation.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Acrokeratoelastoidosis (AKE) is a rare genodermatosis.
  • It presents with wartlike papules on the dorsal palmar junction.
  • Histopathology shows orthohyperkeratosis and elastorrhexis.

Observation:

  • Presents the second reported case of unilateral AKE.
  • The patient is a 5-year-old African American female.
  • The condition affects only one side of the body.

Findings:

  • Hypothesizes genetic mosaicism as the cause of unilateral AKE.
  • Suggests a potential mechanism for sporadic, unilateral presentations.
  • Highlights the importance of considering genetic factors in rare diseases.

Implications:
