Acrokeratosis verruciformis of Hopf (AKV) is a rare cutaneous autosomal dominant genodermatosis described by Hopf in 1931. It usually presents at birth or may appear as late as 5 decade of life. It is characterized by multiple hyperkeratotic, verrucous papules/plaques to multiple planar wart like lesions on dorsal aspects of hand and feet. Due to rarity of the case, we present a case of AKV in a 60-year-old male that was diagnosed on histopathology. We the authors have attempted to describe the histological features of AKV with differential diagnosis of these lesions through review of literature.

[ 2 3 ] Patients may have a chronic disease with recurrence or rarely malignant transformation to squamous cell carcinoma. Histopathological examination (HPE) is the gold standard in the diagnosis of AKV; however, dermoscopy has its value in differentiating these clinical entities.…”
