Abstract

Palmoplantar keratodermas (PPK) are heterogenous group of disorders characterized by epidermal hyperkeratosis involving the palms and the soles. Clinically, PPK present in diffuse, focal or punctate forms. A single case report of unilateral diffuse PPK is present in literature. We are reporting a 19 years old female patient of unilateral diffuse PPK present since childhood, with no systemic abnormalities or associated keratinization disorders.

Keywords: palmoplantar keratoderma, unilateral, diffuse, fissuring.
