Hereditary forms may be localized to the hands and feet, or they may be associated with a more generalized skin disorder. Classification of hereditary PPK frequently is confusing, and a simple working classification is outlined below. This classification incorporates 3 factors: |
-
specific morphology and distribution of the palmoplantar keratosis,
-
presence of associated cutaneous and noncutaneous ectodermal disease in sites other than the palms and soles, and
-
presence or absence of histological epidermolysis. A diffuse pattern of PPK describes uniform involvement of the palmoplantar surface. Focal keratosis refers to localized areas of hyperkeratosis located mainly on pressure points. Punctate keratoderma features small hyperkeratotic papules, spicules, or nodules on the palms and soles.
|
Acquired forms are divided into reactive/inflammatory, infective, drug-related, manifestations of systemic disease, keratoderma climacterium, and PPK associated with internal malignancy. |
