Familial dyskeratotic comedones in a female with positive family history: A rare entity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rodin et al. first reported a rare inherited condition in 1967, called as familial dyskeratotic comedones (FDC) with autosomal dominant mode of inheritance and clinically characterized by symmetrical development of cosmetically disfiguring, progressive but asymptomatic, numerous, discrete, disseminated, hyperkeratotic papules and comedones on trunk, arms and face, appearing around puberty [1]. Histopathological examination often reveal craterlike epidermal invaginations plugged with lamellar keratinous materials and dyskeratotic cells.To the best of our knowledge, less than 50 cases of familial dyskeratotic comedones are reported in literature. Here we report a female case with this rare disorder having a positive family history.

Palmoplantar keratoderma of Sybert (PPK of Sybert) or Sybert’s keratoderma was first documented by Virginia Sybert in 1988.
