Definition

Definition of Acromicric Dysplasia
Acrokeratoelastoidosis of Costa is a rare dermatosis characterized by small, firm papules or ymptomsplaques (resembling warts) on the sides of the hands and feet. These stationary and asymptomatic lesions appear generally at puberty, or sometimes later. The prevalence is unknown. Both autosomal dominant and sporadic forms have been observed. The histology combines hyperkeratosis and acanthosis.
