RESUMEN
La queratodermia acuagénica es un proceso infrecuente caracterizado por la aparición de lesiones en las palmas de las manos pocos minutos después del contacto con el agua, y que desaparecen al poco tiempo de su secado. Los casos publicados corresponden a mujeres, fundamentalmente durante la adolescencia. Presentamos el caso de un varón con lesiones clínicamente superponibles a una queratodermia acuagénica pero con distribución en el dorso de ambas manos y en la cara anterior de muñeca. Estas características no se habían descrito hasta el momento en la literatura científica. Se revisan los casos previamente descritos y se establecen varios diagnósticos diferenciales, como las lesiones palmares inducidas por el rofecoxib o las que aparecen en la fibrosis quística
ABSTRACT
Aquagenic keratoderma is an infrequent condition characterized by the appearance of lesions on the palms of the hands a few minutes after contact with water; these lesions vanish a short time after they dry. Published cases were primarily in adolescent females. We present the case of a male patient with lesions that clinically corresponded to aquagenic keratoderma, except that they were distributed on the backs of both hands and on the anterior face of the wrist. These characteristics had not been described in the literature prior to this case. Previously described cases were reviewed and several differential diagnoses were established, such as rofecoxib-induced palmar lesions, or those appearing in cystic fibrosis
