Palmoplantar keratodermas - PPK

Palpmoplantar keratodermas are clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of genodermatoses, which share impaired epidermal differentiation resulting in prominent palmoplantar hyperkeratosis. Clinical diagnosis of PPK is sometimes very difficult bacause of clinical heterogenity, genetic heterogenity and the probable exsitence of as yet unidentified PPK. Molecular genetic analyses identified the underlying genetic defects in an increasing number of hereditary PPK. Depending on tissue distribution and location of mutation with a certain gene, the clinical spectrum of PPK range from a pure palmoplantar skin abnormality to a complex combination of symptoms with dental anomalies, deafnes, progressive cardiomyopathy and even cancer. The paper presents various classifications of HPPK (based on clinical and genetic base), clinical features of some PPK, different diagnosis and therapeutic guidelines.
