We report on a 2-year-old boy showing diffuse palmoplantar keratoderma (Thost-Unna's disease) in association with congenital penis hypoplasia. Family history research proved palmoplantar keratoderma autosomally dominant over 5 generations. The boy's 6-month-old brother also shows penis hypoplasia, as yet, however, without signs of palmoplantar keratoderma. So far we are not able to settle the question whether this case represents a clinical entity of its own or merely a chance association of rare symptoms.

Naxos disease is a rare autosomal recessive condition combining arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, woolly hair, and palmoplantar keratoderma. The first identified causative variant was in the gene encoding the desmosomal protein plakoglobin. Naxos disease exhibits fibro-fatty myocardial replacement with immunohistological abnormalities in cardiac protein and signaling pathways, highlighting the role of inflammation and potential anti-inflammatory treatments.

Aquagenic syringeal acrokeradermatoma (ASA) is a dermatological condition characterized by the transient appearance of edematous, white, translucent papules on the palms, typically triggered by water exposure. While ASA is most commonly associated with cystic fibrosis (CF) and predominantly affects young females, there has been a significant increase in ASA cases since the most recent update in 2015. The COVID-19 pandemic increased the number of patients diagnosed with ASA following exposure to the viral infection.

Department of Pediatrics, University Children Hospital, Damascus University, Damascus, Syria.
Background: Poikiloderma with neutropenia is a rare genetic disorder primarily characterized by the presence of poikiloderma and congenital chronic neutropenia. Mutations in the C16orf57 gene, which encodes the USB1 protein, are implicated as the underlying cause of poikiloderma with neutropenia.
Case Presentation: Our patient, an 11-year-old Syrian male child who presented with poikiloderma, palmoplantar keratoderma, pachyonychia, recurrent infections, and neutropenia, is considered to be the first documented case in Syria.
Severe palmoplantar keratoderma: a cutaneous complication from sub-optimally controlled type 2 diabetes.
Endocrinol Diabetes Metab Case Rep
January 2025
Summary: Palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK), characterised by excessive epidermal thickening of the skin on the palms and/or plantar surfaces of the feet, can be hereditary or acquired. Here, we report a case of a 53-year-old woman with a history of sub-optimally controlled diabetes mellitus presenting with fevers and decreased Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) to a tertiary hospital. She was diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), with blood glucose at 40 mmol/L and ketones at 7 mmol/L, in the setting of a methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus necrotising soft tissue back infection.
