“…[4] They do not correspond to any known nervous, vascular or lymphatic structure, but represent the developmental growth pattern of the skin. [5] An embryological basis of these lines is not clear. Many congenital and acquired dermatosis are known to follow the lines of Blaschko-like epidermal nevus, Darier's disease, etc., To our knowledge till date, association of AKV along the lines of Blaschko is not reported.…”

Acrokeratosis verruciformis of Hopf (AKV) is a rare genodermatosis presenting as multiple plane wart-like lesions symmetrically distributed on dorsum of hands and feet. Its pathogenesis is unknown. A case of 24 years old female is described with multiple hyperpigmented, hyperkeratotic papules on the left side of body since 5 years along the lines of Blaschko. Histopathology showed changes of AKV. Other unusual findings were the absence of family history, extensive lesions with flexural, and genital involvement.

Goltz syndrome is a rare multisystem disorder with cutaneous, ocular, dental and skeletal abnormalities. Other mesoectodermal abnormalities are also present. Its hallmark is thinning of the dermis resulting subcutaneous fat herniation. The present case is a 5 year old girl having linear skin atrophy with fat herniation, skeletal abnormalities in the form of polysyndactyly, facial asymmetry, squint with coloboma iris, deformed pinna, abnormal dentition, umbilical hernia along with osteopathia striata of long bones which is consistent with Goltz syndrome. We are presenting this case due to its rarity.

The world of Dermatology is flooded with inflexions among clinical conditions and signs and syndromes; making it interesting, but a tougher subject to remember. Signs and syndromes have always fascinated residents, but simultaneously burdened their minds, as these attractive names are difficult to remember. This work was undertaken to review dermatological conditions and signs based on commonly encountered daily words and objects like animals, etc. Fifty dermatological conditions were found to be based on animal eponyms. For example, the usage of animal terminology in dermatology like leonine facies is present in leprosy, sarcoidosis, mycosis fungoides (MF), and airborne contact dermatitis (ABCD).
