Popis: |
Mal de Meleda (MdM) is an autosomal recessive form of palmoplantar keratoderma, that is characterized by transgradient keratoderma with associated scleroatrophy, nail changes, pseudoainhum around digits and perioral erythema, without a tendency for spontaneous resolution. Mal de Meleda can lead to severe flexion contractures in some patients as well as mycotic over-rinfections with significant impact on quality of life and daily activity. Mal de Meleda is a rare genetic disorder but no standardized treatment has been established. Treatment options for this disease include topical keratolytic agents, propylene glycol, topical 5-fluorouracil and surgical treatment. In addition, it has been reported that etretinate and acitretin, usually produce improvement. Herein, we present a case of Mal de Meleda with lips involvement which showed significant clinical improvement with acitritin. |
