Abstract

We report a rare case of familial spiny keratoderma. A 51-year-old female complained of sensations of roughness in the palms for 6 months. She had no underlying disease. She denied exposure to arsenic, herbal medicines, and other chemicals. Physical examination revealed multiple tiny, spiny, whitish papules on the palms and soles. Other systems were unremarkable. The histopathological study was consistent with spiny keratoderma. The hereditary type is most likely in our patient because of the similar lesions on her father's palms and soles.
