Abstract
- Punctate palmoplantar keratoderma(PPK) is an autosomal dominantly transmitted disease with variable penetrance. Clinically there are multiple tiny punctate keratoses over the entire palmoplantar surfaces. Lesions are discrete and diffuse, and may be symmetrical. There have been occasional reports of families with autosomal dominant transmission of punctate PPK and internal malignancies or spastic paralysis. We report a case of punctate palmoplantar keratoderma with severe periodontitis in 60-year-old male patient.
