A 38-year-old Japanese man was seen for severe palmoplantar keratoderma, extending to the dorsal aspects with red rims. He had had spontaneous amputations of the toes and surgical amputation of the right lower leg because of squamous cell carcinoma of the right sole. The clinical symptoms suggested those of mal de Meleda, except for the absence of consanguinity and of granular layers in the epidermis. The keratoderma improved with oral etretinate treatment.

Aquagenic syringeal acrokeratoderma (ASA) is a rare dermatological condition characterized by the transient appearance of edematous, white, translucent papules on the palms following water exposure. While the condition is most commonly associated with cystic fibrosis (CF) and predominantly affects young women, this report presents a unique case in a 24-year-old man without a history of cystic fibrosis. The patient reported a 10-month history of painful, pruritic eruptions on the hands following exposure to water.

Palmoplantar keratodermas (PPKs), also known as 'keratosis palmaris et plantaris', are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by abnormal thickening of the epidermal skin of the palms and soles leading to hyperkeratosis. It could be acquired or hereditary. Acquired PPK often occurs as a paraneoplastic syndrome as well as a stigma of other dermatoses.

Keratoelastoidosis marginalis of the hands (KEMH) is an acquired form of marginal papular keratoderma, characterized by thickened keratotic plaques predominantly affecting the lateral side of the index finger and the medial side of the thumb. It is often associated with chronic sun exposure and trauma, usually affecting older individuals. Due to clinical similarities with other palmoplantar keratodermas, differential diagnosis is essential for effective treatment management.

Hereditary palmoplantar keratoderma (hPPK) comprises a clinical and heterogeneous group of skin disorders characterized by hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles. Variants of SERPINA12 have been implicated in autosomal recessive diffuse hPPK, which shares similarities with Nagashima-type PPK due to biallelic variants in SERPINB7. To date, seven SERPINA12 variants have been found in 11 patients with biallelic SERPINA12 variants worldwide.
