Abstract

Acrokeratoelastoidosis of Costa is a genodermatosis of autosomal dominant inheritance with incomplete penetrance. It is a cutaneous disorder of the elastic fibers at the acral level. The clinical feature is the presence of erythematous, yellowish or normal skin-colored papules on the marginal aspect of the fingers and/or toes, wich agaminate to form cobblestone-like plaques and extend symmetrically to the dorsum and palms and soles. The pathogonomonic histologic finding is elastorrhexis. We present a 7-year-old boy with acrokeratoelastoidosis involving hands and feet, associated with pruritus.
