Four Cases of Acrokeratoelastoidosis / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Four cases of acrokeratoelastoidosis are reported. All four patients had symmetrically situated asymptomatic keratotic plaques along the margin of first interdigital space of the hand, The patients were all elderly korean farmers. Elastic stain showed aggregated thickened black elastotic materials occupying mainly the upper dermis. Epidermis showed marked hyperkeratosis and acanthosis. Although this cutaneous condition is not well known to physicians in the country, we think it may be not an uncommon condition in the rural part of Korea.
