Olmsted syndrome is a rare congenital mutilating palmoplantar keratoderma associated with periorificial keratotic plaques. Treatment options include topical keratolytics, systemic retinoids, and debulking procedures. Full-thickness excision of hyperkeratotic plaques followed by skin grafting has been reported in the medical literature, although long-term results have not been evaluated. We present two cases of Olmsted syndrome with severe palmoplantar keratoderma treated with excision and skin grafting, along with long-term clinical results 11 years (patient 1) and 6 years (patient 2) following the initial surgery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
