Abstract

A 7-year-old boy (Figs. 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5) presented with excessively keratotic skin over the palms and soles, restricting his mobility and interfering with walking. He also had persistent flexion deformity of the fingers. There was a life-long history of thick scaly lesions affecting the scalp, forehead, peri-auricular, peri-oral, and peri-anal areas. He had a thin, short hair that was growing very slowly. His mental and physical growths were normal. Examination revealed no dental anomalies and no deafness.
