Diagnostic criteria: (1) Massive nail thickening of all fingers and toes, sometimes already present at birth, gradually increasing. Thickening increases toward the distal end; concurrent transversal curvature. – (2) Dirty yellow-brown discoloration of the nail. – (3) Circumscribed symmetrical hyperkeratoses on the palms and soles. – (4) Blistering in warm conditions (palmo-) plantar. – (5) Hyperhidrosis palmoplantaris. – (6) Follicular keratoses predominantly on the elbows and knees with overall dry skin, occasionally signs of ichthyotic skin. – (7) Leukoplakias of the oral mucosa. – (8) Natal teeth. – (9) Steatocystoma multiplex. – (10) In adults, corneal dystrophy possible, cataract, reticular pigmentation. Hearing impairment, hypotrichosis, hoarseness. Etiology. Autosomal dominant hereditary keratinization disorder with variable expression and incomplete penetration of the gene. Pathog.: Unknown. Remarks: Type 1 (Jadassohn-Lewandowsky): with leukoplakias and plantar bullae. Type II: without leukoplakias, minor keratoses. Type III: premature dentition with natal teeth and minor keratoses. In 3 cases, autosomal recessive transmission was claimed; however, the clinical picture was not typical.
