Kyrle's Disease: A Rare Skin Manifestation of Diabetes Mellitus

A Pandey et al. J Assoc Physicians India. 2016 Jul.

Abstract

Kyrle's disease is a rare skin disorder which is characterized by hyperkeratotic papules and nodules with a central keratotic plug mostly located in lower limbs. Exact etiology of Kyrle's disease is unknown, but its association has been reported sparsely with renal disorders, uremic patients on dialysis, diabetes mellitus, liver disease and paraneoplastic syndromes, tuberculosis and some fungal diseases. We report Kyrle's disease in a middle aged female suffering from diabetes mellitus with diabetic nephropathy on hemodialysis.
