Comments

A 17-year old man developed a palmo-plantar keratoderma associated with acrosclerosis and nail atrophy of three toes. Many members of his family were affected by this syndrome. Sclerotylosis or Huriez Syndrome is a genodermatosis characterized by sclerodactyly, nail anomalies, and palmar-plantar keratoderma. Other associated findings include telangiectasias of the lip, flexural contractures of the fifth finger, and poikiloderma of the nasal skin. This young man was a member of the family described by Delaporte (Delaporte E et al: Keratoderma with scleroatrophy of the extremities or sclerotylosis (Huriez syndrome): a reappraisal. Brit. J. Derm. 1995; 133: 409-416)
