Palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) is a diverse group of disorders, characterized by thickening of the palms and soles, which are subdivided into focal or diffuse; it can be acquired or hereditary. Syndromic association of PPK is described in literature with all patterns of inheritance. Skin and nail changes, predisposition to malignancy, skeletal deformities, dwarfi sm and enamel abnormalities are rarely associated with PPK.
