Erythrokeratodermas: A classification in a state of flux?

Abstract: The term 'erythrokeratodermas' or 'erythrokeratodermias' has been applied to a group of inherited disorders characterized by well-demarcated erythematous lesions and hyperkeratotic plaques. Connexin mutations have been demonstrated to be responsible for most cases of erythrokeratoderma variabilis but there remain some cases without demonstrated connexin mutations, suggesting genetic heterogeneity. The position of progressive symmetric erythrokeratoderma has become rather unclear. Loricin mutations have been fo… Show more

“…PSEK differs in the absence of migratory erythematosus lesions and in greater incidence of palmoplantar keratoderma. [7] A distinctive feature of EKV from PSEK is the lack of facial involvement. [6] Histopathological findings of PSEK are non-specific as well.…”

“…Initially, a clinical diagnosis of progressive symmetric erythrokeratodermia was made, based on the presence of erythematous hyperkeratotic plaques symmetrically involving the extremities, the buttocks, the trunk and the face [3]. Subsequently, it became obvious that the patient had a most unusual syndrome including progressive symmetric erythrokeratodermia, occipital hairlessness, oligodontia, severe caries and an ectopic nail.…”

“…A unique finding in the proband was the presence of focal infiltrating neutrophils in the granular layer. The ultra-structural changes of EKV vary from one report to the other (5). Two studies sbowed decreased number of keratinosomes in granular layers (4,6), whereas another study noticed a normal number of keratinosomes (7).…”
