Zusammenfassung

Spiny Hyperkeratosis palmaris et plantaris ist eine seltene Erkrankung, einhergehend mit stachelartigen Papeln an den Palmae/Plantae. Bei dieser Erkrankung unterscheidet man eine hereditäre von einer erworbenen Form. Die meisten in der Literatur dargestellten Fälle beschreiben die erworbene Form, die mit Malignomen bzw. verschiedenen Systemerkrankungen assoziiert sein kann. Da die Erkrankung meist asymptomatisch verläuft und häufig undiagnostiziert bleibt, ist es wichtig, dass Dermatologen diese Dermatose in der täglichen Untersuchung nicht übersehen. Wir stellen hier den ersten Fall dieser seltenen Erkrankung in der deutschsprachigen Literatur vor.

Abstract

Spiny hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles is a rare dermatosis presenting as multiple tiny keratotic plugs on the palms and soles. There are two different forms of spiny keratoderma of the palms and soles – the hereditary form and the acquired form. The latter is usually associated with internal malignancies or systemic disease. Since spiny hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles has been under-reported and under-diagnosed, it is important for dermatologists not to forget this disease in daily practice. We report this rare disease for the first time in the German literature.
