[Aquagenic syringeal acrokeratoderma. Presentation of two cases]
Abstract
Aquagenic syringeal acrokeratoderma is an infrequently described acquired, transitory keratoderma that is exacerbated when the palms and/or soles are immersed in water. It manifests as whitish or yellowish flattened, translucent papules and plaques, located in areas of pressure or trauma on the palms and/or soles. Involvement is usually bilateral. The histologic features are non-specific, showing a slight dilation of the intraepidermal portion of the eccrine sweat duct. The process tends to remit spontaneously. We present the case of two women, aged 20 and 21.
