Circumscribed palmar hypokeratosis: Successful treatment with fluorouracil cream
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION The pathogenesis of circumscribed palmar hypokeratosis (CPH) is still controversial, and to date there is no treatment of choice. METHODS We report on a patient with CPH responding to treatment with fluorouracil cream. RESULTS The clinical course and histopathological features in our observation point towards the possibility of an underlying squamous cell carcinoma in situ presenting as CPH. CONCLUSION We suggest that fluorouracil cream treatment should be considered as a therapeutic option in cases of CPH.
