A Sporadic Case of Erythrokeratodermia Variabilis in an Adult

Abstract

Erythrokeratoderma are diverse group of genodermatosis affecting keratinization under which, Erythrokeratodermia Variabilis ( EKV) was first described in 1925 by Mendes da Costa. Our patient is a 48 year old male presenting clinically with EKV Mendes Da Costa, hyperkeratotic subtype with the histopathology supportive of the diagnosis. We are reporting for its rarity and due to its late onset in our patient and also for the sporadic nature of this particular case of EKV.
