We report six cases of palmar-plantar keratoderma of Unna Thost (PPKUT) associated with atopic dermatitis. All had typical features of PPKUT with diffuse, yellowish thickening on the palms and soles with a well-defined erythematous rim of demarcation on the sides associated with palmar-plantar hyperhidrosis. The changes were obvious since birth or arose during early life, and were persistent. We believe that the association between the two disorders is not coincidental but an underrecognized entity that may shed light on the underlying pathogenesis of these two conditions.
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.
