“…Although the cause is unknown, the condition is associated with dry skin and actinic exposure. 1,2 Multiple minute digitate hyperkeratosis is a familial disorder of keratinization, characterized by tiny, flaccid, digitiform projections and larger, flat-topped to dome-shaped papules, located on the trunk and limbs. 3 Minute aggregate keratosis is another genetic disorder of keratinization with numerous, small, hyperkeratotic aggregates of papules and spicules and flat-topped hyperkeratotic papules on the trunk.…”

A 16‐year‐old girl presented with a 2‐year history of hypopigmented, hard papules involving the extensor surfaces of the forearms and lower legs. Initially, 2–3‐mm‐sized papules were present on the forearms; gradually they increased in number and spread to involve the lower legs. Her family history was unremarkable. There was a history of worsening in the summer. On examination, she was skin type 3, with multiple, round, hypopigmented, keratotic, flat‐topped papules located on the distal dorsal parts of the extremities, with a stuck‐on appearance (Fig. 1). The papules were unrelated to follicular orifices, symmetrically distributed, and could not be detached. The lesions were not itchy. Her face, trunk, palms, and soles were spared, and no mucosal lesions were present. The nails and hair were normal. 1 Numerous, hypopigmented, flat‐topped papules on the arm Histologic examination of a papule revealed orthokeratotic hyperkeratosis, mild acanthosis, mild papillomatosis, and vacuolization in basal cells. A mild lymphocytic inflammatory response was seen. There were normal amounts of melanin in the basal cell layer and no melanophages were present (Fig. 2). 2 Hyperorthokeratosis, mild acanthosis, and papillomatosis. A mild inflammatory infiltrate is present in the dermis (hematoxylin and eosin, × 100) Despite some slight differences, the clinical and histologic features appeared to be similar to cases previously described under the title “disseminated hypopigmented keratoses”. The patient was treated with 0.1% tretinoin gel and 10% salicylic acid ointment and marked improvement was observed after several weeks.

“…1 The suggestion of Green,2 however, that exposure is unimpor¬ tant, appears more tenable since these lesions do not predominate on traditionally exposed areas, such as the face, dorsum of the neck, and Varea of the anterior aspect of the chest. This kerato¬ sis tends to appear amidst a back¬ ground of existing cutaneous changes, such as dry skin and seborrheic kératoses.…”

“…Indeed, histologic examination rules out flat warts as well as epidermodysplasia verruci formis of Lewandowsky and Lutz because of absence of vacuolization and parakeratosis. The absence of a dense dermal infiltrate in biopsy section allows us to exclude the diagnosis of hyperkeratosis lcnticularis perstans of Flegel [2]An identical histological appearance could be observed in the hypertrophic variant of seborrheic keratosis, or in stuccokeratosis [3]. However, the characteristic distribu tion of the papules lends support to a consideration of AKV.…”

An exceptional case of nevoid basal cell carcinoma (NBCC) syndrome occurring with acrokeratosis verruciformis (AKV) in the same patient is presented. The occurrence of two rare autosomal dominant diseases in a patient suggests that AKV might be one of the different dyskeratoses of the NBCC syndrome. The clinical aspect of the flesh-colored papules of AKV, indistinguishable from flat warts, might nevertheless prompt performance of a biopsy.
