Spiny keratoderma (SK) was first described by Brown in 1871 and is characterized by numerous 1-2 mm spines of keratin on the palms and soles, usually sparing the dorsal surfaces, or disseminated over the trunk. Histologically, the "spine" represents a column of hyperkeratosis. Several different forms are known, including familial, sporadic, post-inflammatory and paraneoplastic. Although an association of SK with melanoma has been reported, the significance of such co-occurrence remains unclear due to the limited number of cases. To increase the body of knowledge and shed further light on this rare condition, we present a case of SK in a patient with a recent history of melanoma in situ.
棘状角化病(SK)于1871年由布朗首次描述,其特征是手掌和脚底有许多1 - 2毫米的角质棘,通常不累及背面,或散布于躯干。组织学上,“棘”代表角化过度柱。已知有几种不同形式,包括家族性、散发性、炎症后性和副肿瘤性。虽然有报道称SK与黑色素瘤有关联,但由于病例数量有限,这种共现的意义仍不清楚。为了增加知识储备并进一步阐明这种罕见病症,我们报告一例近期有原位黑色素瘤病史患者的SK病例。
