Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Clinical Case Study

Background:

  • Filiform keratoses are characterized by thread-like growths.
  • The etiology and optimal management of filiform keratoses remain areas of investigation.

Observation:

  • A 53-year-old female presented with disseminated, filiform keratoses on her back, arms, neck, and upper thorax.
  • The patient had no concurrent diseases or symptoms.

Findings:

  • Successful treatment of filiform keratoses was achieved with etretinate.
  • The patient experienced a relapse after discontinuing etretinate therapy.

Implications:

  • This case contributes to the understanding of filiform keratoses management.
  • The findings suggest etretinate may be effective, but long-term or intermittent therapy might be necessary to prevent recurrence.
