The college continues to grow and evolve, as does the journal it created. The AOCD recently welcomed several new members who passed their board examinations this past fall. We welcome these new members and hope they will take an active role in the AOCD as well as in the journal of the AOCD. Being involved with the journal is one of the easiest ways to give back to your college. We encourage you to take the time to continue to write new and interesting articles that will contribute to the knowledge of the students, residents, and other Fellows reading the JAOCD. Working with students and residents is a great way to keep your skills and knowledge at the forefront of the dermatology field. All students and residents need a board-certified dermatologist as one of the authors in order to submit their paper. In addition, we hope the new Fellows of the AOCD will not only contribute in writing journal articles, but will also help in the review process. Since the AOCD has expanded, the number of dermatology programs and therefore the number of residents and articles submitted to the JAOCD have increased dramatically. We are always in need of more board-certified dermatologists willing to be part of our peer-review process. This is very important

    Idiopathic Spiny Keratoderma: A Report of Two Cases and Literature Review Jessica Schweitzer, DO,* Matthew Koehler, DO,** David Horowitz, DO*** *Intern, Largo Medical Center, Largo, FL **Dermatology Resident, Third Year, College Medical Center/Western University, Long Beach, CA ***Dermatology Residency Program Director, College Medical Center/Western University, Long Beach, CA Abstract Spiny keratoderma is a rare and likely underreported condition that presents with punctate hyperkeratotic growths localized to the palms and soles. We present two cases of clinically diagnosed spiny keratoderma. Although the lesions were asymptomatic, patients are at risk of an underlying internal malignancy with this condition, so diagnosis is crucial. Neither men were seeking treatment for the lesions when they were discovered, suggesting that this condition may be much more common than reported. Patients with histories of manual labor, increased UV exposure, and non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) may also be at higher risk for developing spiny keratoderma.1 The epidemiology, histopathologic features, differential diagnosis, and current treatments for spiny keratoderma are reviewed. Introduction Case 2 enthusiast for his entire life, spending significant Spiny keratoderma is a rare palmoplantar A 67-year-old Caucasian male presented with a time using his hands to maintain and fire his keratoderma that presents with keratotic, pinpoint one-year history of insidiously growing, pinpoint weapons and many hours outside without sun papules on the palms and soles. There are both hyperkeratotic papules projecting from his palms protection. The patient was referred back to his hereditary and acquired forms. When found, bilaterally (Figures 4-5).

    Palmoplantar Keratoderma With Progressive Gingivitis and Recurrent Pyodermas Tyler A. Moss, DO; Anne P. Spillane, MD; Sam F. Almquist, MD; Patrick E. McCleskey, MD; Oliver J. Wisco, DO Practice Points Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) is an autosomal-recessive inherited transgredient palmoplantar kerato- derma (PPK) that is associated with gingivitis and recurrent pyodermas. The symptoms associated with PLS are thought to be due to cathepsin C gene, CTSC, mutations. CTSC is expressed in epithelial regions commonly affected by PLS and also plays a role in the activation of immune and inflammatory responses. Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome must be differentiated from other conditions causing PPK, such as Haim-Munk syndrome, Greither syndrome, mal de Meleda, Clouston syndrome, Vohwinkel syndrome, and Olmsted syndrome. Treatment of PLS includesCUTIS keratolytics such as urea and/or salicylic acid comb ined with oral retinoids. Active gingivitis may be treated with combined use of amoxicillin and metronidazole.

The majority of ichthyoses are inherited with childhood presentation and new onset ichthyosis in adulthood warrants further medical evaluation. Though most well recognized for its association with Hodgkin’s disease, acquired ichthyosis (AI) has been linked to a number of inflammatory, autoimmune, and endocrine processes. However, drug- induced AI is exceedingly rare and remains a poorly understood entity.
