[Unilateral acro-keratoelastoidosis].

INTRODUCTION

Acrokeratoelastoidosis was first described by O. Costa in 1953. We report a new case with a unilateral localization.

CASE REPORT: A 27-year-old woman had atypical acrokeratoelastoidosis lesions of the right hand and foot since adolescence. Diagnosis was confirmed by histology.

DISCUSSION: Several cases of acrokeratoelastoidosis have been reported in the literature, but this case is novel because of the unilateral localization. We recall the characteristic features of this disease and emphasize the heterogeneous nature of the manifestations. Differential diagnosis is discussed for this disease which is one of the group of acral lenticular keratoses.
