Abstract

The hereditary epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (Vorner"s kerato derma) is characterized by autosomal dominantly inherited, marked, symmetrical thickening of the palms and soles. The presence of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis in skin biopsy differentiates hereditary epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma from Unna-Thost keratoderma. We report a case of hereditary epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma with literature reviews focused on the differential points from other palmoplantar keratodermas.
