Epidermolytic alterations in focal palmoplantar and gingival keratosis

Focal palmoplantar keratoderma with epidermolytic degeneration

“…The patient's gingival lesion was normal in appearance, even though the focal palmoplantar and the gingival keratosis were leukoplakic in appearance. 3,4 These findings suggested that the clinico-pathological feature in the present case was associated with FPPK with epidermolytic degeneration.…”

“…2 Focal palmoplantar and gingival keratosis is characterized clinically by focal palmoplantar hyperkeratosis with leukoplakic appearance on the labial surface of the attached gingival lesion, and histologically by focal epidermolytic PPK. 3,4 Here, we describe a case of FPPK without other typical cutaneous and extracutaneous features. The histopathological examination indicated focal epidermolytic PPK.…”

“…FPPK represents a group of heterogeneous diseases characterized clinically by focal hyperkeratosis on the palmoplantar lesion and histologically by focal NEPPK 2 . Focal palmoplantar and gingival keratosis is characterized clinically by focal palmoplantar hyperkeratosis with leukoplakic appearance on the labial surface of the attached gingival lesion, and histologically by focal epidermolytic PPK 3,4 …”
