Epidermolytic Acanthoma on Fingers, Mimicking Flat Warts

چکیده
Epidermolytic acanthoma (EA) is a benign cutaneous condition. It is characterized by warty or flat-topped, keratotic papules that show epidermolytic hyperkeratosis in histology. EA has been described to occur in various locations, namely the trunk, face, and genitoscrotal area. However, it has not been previously reported to involve the palmar area. To the best of our knowledge, we present the first reported case of EA involving the palms and fingers.

This entity should be distinguished from other hereditary or acquired conditions which involve epidermolytic hyperkeratosis and other benign acanthomas. On the basis of the clinical history and the histologi...

Epidermolytic acanthoma (EA) is a rare benign lesion described by Shapiro and Baraf in 1970. It typically presents clinically as a solitary, asymptomatic verrucous papule. Histologically, there is an epidermal proliferation (acanthoma) with epidermolytic hyperkeratosis, without the concomitant presence of signs suggestive of other cutaneous tumors. The presence of multiple EAs in the genital an...

This article describes 31 examples of acantholytic acanthoma, a newly recognized, solitary, benign cutaneous tumor. Acantholytic acanthoma was typically an asymptomatic, keratotic papule or nodule. Patients ranged in age from 32 to 87 years (median 60 years); the ratio of men to women was 2:1; the most frequent clinical diagnosis was keratosis; and half of the growths were on the trunk of the b...

Cornoid lamellation is a specific disorder of epidermal maturation manifested by a vertical "column" of parakeratosis and is the hallmark of porokeratosis. The cornoid lamella is characterized by a ridgelike parakeratosis. We present 11 patients with solitary lesions of a distinct pattern of cornoid lamellation. The mean age at presentation clinically was 57 years; there were 9 men and 2 women....
