Pachyonychia congenita type II: report of a case
Authors
Abstract:
Pachyonychia congenital (PC) is a rare genodermatosis affecting the nails, skin, oral mucosae, larynx, hair, and teeth. General clinical presentation includes thickening of finger and toenails, painful plantar keratoderma, hyperhidrosis, oral leukokeratosis, follicular keratosis, palmar keratoderma, cutaneous cysts, hoarseness, twisted hair and prenatal or natal teeth. Clinically, PC is divided into 4 distinct subtypes. Here, we present a three-year-old girl with PC type II.

Pachyonychia congenita type II is an autosomal dominant inherited rare genodermatosis characterized by dystrophic wedge shaped thickened nails with subungual hyperkeratosis, symmetric palmoplantar keratoderma, steatocystoma multiplex. Here we report a 23-year-old male with characteristic features of dystrophic nails, palmoplantar keratoderma, steatocystoma multiplex, follicular hyperkeratotic p...

Pachyonychia congenita (PC) is a rare genodermatosis caused by mutations in any of the four genes KRT6A, KRT6B, KRT16, or KRT17, which can lead to dystrophic, thickened nails and focal palmoplantar keratoderma, among other manifestations. Although classically subdivided into two major variants, PC-1 (Jadassohn-Lewandowski syndrome) and PC-2 (Jackson-Lawler syndrome), according to the localizati...

Pachyonychia congenital (PC), consist of a group of rare autosomal-dominant ectodermal disorders. Symmetrically thickened, dystrophic fingernails and toenails are the defining characteristic of pachyonychia congenita. There are two main clinical subtypes of pachyonychia congenita: Pachyonychia congenita-1 and pachyonychia congenita-2. Pachyonychia congenita-U is another subtypes of pachyonychia...
full textTreatment of pachyonychia congenita.
There are currently no specific treatments for pachyonychia congenita (PC). Available treatments generally are directed at specific manifestations of the disorder, and an effective treatment plan must recognize that different patients are more or less troubled by different manifestations of the disease. Treatment for all aspects of PC has been less than completely satisfactory. Very few studies...
