Abstract

Palmoplantar keratoderma is characterized clinically by excessive thickening of the skin and histologically by hyperkeratosis on the palms and soles. It can be classified based on inheritance patterns, causes, "clinical presentation, and extent of involvement. Acquired palmoplantar keratoderma shows multifactorial etiology including exposure to certain chemicals or drugs, metabolic disorders, malnutrition, systemic disease, malignancy, dermatosis, and/or infection.
