Keratosis Punctata of Palmar Creases
Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology
|February 15, 2017
Summary
This study reports five cases of keratosis punctata of palmar creases, a variant of keratosis punctata. Some cases were linked to psoriasis or dermatitis herpetiformis, with a notable familial tendency observed.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Genetics
Background:
- Keratosis punctata is a rare skin condition characterized by small, horny papules.
- Keratosis punctata of palmar creases is a specific variant affecting the palm lines.
Observation:
- Five cases of keratosis punctata of palmar creases were identified.
- Two cases were comorbid with psoriasis.
- One case was comorbid with dermatitis herpetiformis.
Findings:
- A familial tendency was observed in four out of the five reported cases.
- This suggests a potential genetic component in the etiology of keratosis punctata of palmar creases.
Implications:
- Further research into the genetic factors underlying keratosis punctata of palmar creases is warranted.
- Understanding the familial link may aid in early diagnosis and management of affected individuals and families.

Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...

01:16Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers
2.8K
The muscles of the forearm that move the wrist, hand, and digits are numerous and diverse. They can be classified into two groups based on their location and function — the anterior and posterior compartment muscles.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi...

01:05Accessory Structures of the Skin: Nails
3.8K
Nails are one of the important accessory structures of the skin. They are hard, protective structures that cover the dorsal surface of the distal phalanges of fingers and toes. Nails are composed of specialized keratinized cells and serve various functions, including protection, sensation, and manual dexterity.
The main components of a nail include the following.
Nail Plate: The nail plate is the visible portion of the nail that extends beyond the fingertips or toes. It is a hard, translucent...

01:24Cells of the Epidermis
8.6K
The epidermis is made of four or five layers of epithelial cells, depending on its location in the body. From deep to superficial, these layers are the stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, and stratum corneum.
The cells in all these layers except the stratum basale are called keratinocytes, a type of cell that manufactures and stores the protein keratin. The keratinocytes in the stratum corneum are dead and regularly slough away, being replaced by cells from...

01:09Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius
10.7K
The radius is longer of the two bones that make up the human antebrachium or forearm. At the proximal end, the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the ulna to form the elbow joint. At the distal end, the radius articulates with the ulna via the ulnar notch, forming the distal radioulnar joint. Distally, the radius also attaches to the carpal wrist bones (scaphoid and lunate) to form the radiocarpal joint.
The radius has a nail-shaped head, and a...
