Spectrum of lesions in acrokeratosis verruciformis of hopf

Abstract

Acrokeratosis verruciformis of Hopf (AVH) is a rare genodermatosis with an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. It is a disorder of keratinization characterized by multiple flat-topped skin-colored or fleshy, dull-red to brown keratotic lesions resembling plane warts mainly observed on the dorsum of the hands and feet. Herein, we present a case of AVH who presented with hypopigmented and hyperpigmented macules with papular lesions and was diagnosed on histopathology.
