Keratosis punctata of the palmar creases is a variant of punctata palmoplantar keratoderma.Keratosis punctata of the palmar creases was observed in a 53 year-old North African male. The lesions presented as small keratotic papules confined exclusively to the flexion creases of the palms and digits, with a bilateral localization on the soles. The lesions were sensitive to pressure. The proband's 19 year-old son had similar lesions.Keratosis punctata of the palmar creases is characterized by the development of small round keratotic papules, electively and exclusively found in the palmar, digital, and uncommonly soles creases. The etiology is unknown. The frequency is higher in the black population. Although considered as an hereditary palmoplantar keratoderma with autosomal dominant transmission, familial cases with localizations on the soles is uncommon.
