ILVEN is a hamartoma that usually is congenital or presents in early childhood; presents with linear or whorled,
hyperkeratotic papules and plaque in similar linear "line of Blaschko" patterns; and represents cutaneous mosaicism.
A dermatological examination revealed bilateral palmoplantar pointed pits, maceration, and foul odor between the toes on slightly erythematous yellowish
hyperkeratotic areas extending to the dorsal aspect of the hands and feet (Figure 2).
The patient had 3 confluent, but distinct, lesions on her forehead: an erythematous crateriform nodule with overlying
hyperkeratotic scale (FIGURE, Lesion A); a nodular hyperpigmented plaque with irregular color and borders (Lesion B); and a pearly well-vascularized erythematous nodule with surrounding hemorrhagic crust (Lesion C).
Also, yellowish-brown-colored
hyperkeratotic plagues on the medial parts of both knees, and lateral and medial malleols (Figure 1-3), were observed.
Multiple flat and
hyperkeratotic lesions on the left palm, with a thrombosed blood vessel on the center of lesions.
Elevated Plasma Tyrosine Levels, Ocular Symptoms, Developmental Delay and
Hyperkeratotic Plaques: Inadequate restriction of tyrosine and phenylalanine intake can lead to elevations in plasma tyrosine, which at levels above 500 micromol/L can result in symptoms, intellectual disability and developmental delay or painful
hyperkeratotic plaques on the soles and palms; do not adjust the dosage of NITYR in order to lower the plasma tyrosine concentration.
The striking clinical finding of
hyperkeratotic coat of armour encasing the baby prompted us to the diagnosis of Harlequin ichthyosis.3
Cutaneous horn (Cornu cutaneum) is a relatively uncommon lesion consisting of a projectile, conical, dense,

[1] Clinically, it is characterized by sharply demarcated margins with
hyperkeratotic sim so its clinical presentation is unique.
They have been described in chronic sun-damaged skin with precancerous lesions (5-7), in the periphery of

Examination revealed findings of extensive raised, erythematous,

The authors suggested that HK may be a "
