“…Distinct features are diffuse hyperkeratosis in 1 of our cases, striated palmar lesions and knuckle pads. The histopathology in our pa tients showed epidermal hyperplasia without focal epidermolytic hyperkeratosis observed in the cases of Wachters et al [6]. Painful localized palmoplantar lesions are characteristic for Richner-Hanhart syn drome.…”

“…These include a similar age of onset between 2 and 15 years, a progressive course leading to severe disability, less severe affec tion of palms, nail changes and hyperkeratotic foci on the tips and sides of the fingers. No extrapalmoplantar lesions were ob served in our patients and they were also rare in the cases of Wächters et al [6]. Distinct features are diffuse hyperkeratosis in 1 of our cases, striated palmar lesions and knuckle pads.…”

“…It resembled a picture described by Baes et al [5] as keratosis palmoplantaris varians lacking however its extrapalmoplantar lesions. Wächters et al [6] recently described an apparently different form of dominant palmoplantar keratoderma -ker atosis palmoplantaris nummularis -in which painful focal keratoses were nearly ex clusively located on the plantar pressure points. Our patients in whom extremely painful plantar lesions were also mainly lo cated on pressure points share several addi tional features with the cases of Wächters et al [6].…”

Four members of a South African Black family who have palmoplantar keratoderma with amyotrophy are reported. No neuromuscular defects have been found and the muscle thinning appears to result from disuse atrophy. Volar hyperhidrosis, nail abnormalities and in 2 cases knuckle pads, were additional features. The condition appears to be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. We are not aware of a similar syndrome having been previously reported.

Les kératodermies palmo-plantaires (KPP) sont un groupe hétérogène de maladies cutanées, caractérisées par une hyperkératose des paumes et des plantes, parmi lesquelles on distingue trois groupes : KPP héréditaires, génodermatoses avec KPP et KPP acquises. Les KPP héré-ditaires sont classées selon le mode de transmission, l'aspect clinique et le type d'hyperkératose (diffus, focal ou ponctué), l'atteinte d'autres structures ectodermales, la présence ou l'absence de symptômes associés non ectodermaux, les données histologiques et la physiopathologie. Nous présentons un bilan des connaissances actuelles sur les principales KPP héréditaires.Abstract: Palmoplantar keratoderma (PKK) refers to a genetically heterogenous group of skin diseases characterised by hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles. They can be subdivided into three groups: hereditary PPK, genodermatosis with PPK and aquired PPK. Hereditary forms are classified on the basis of the morphology, distribution of the kyperkeratosis (diffuse, focal or punctate), associated symptoms, mode of inheritance and histopathologic findings. We report a review of the principal hereditary PPK.
