Olmsted syndrome is a rare variety of transgredient palmoplantar keratoderma with an undefined inheritance pattern. It starts in the neonatal period or in childhood and has a progressive and extremely disabling course. We report two new, unrelated patients with Olmsted syndrome, one with the early signs and symptoms of the disorder, the other showing the full-blown spectrum of the syndrome during a 30-year follow-up period.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
