Acrokeratoelastoidosis of Costa (also known as "Keratoelastoidosis marginalis") is a familial condition characterized by multiple keratotic papules on the dorsum of the hands and feet, palms, soles, in which electron microscopy shows rarified, abnormal elastic tissue.
It was characterized in 1953.
Treatments such as liquid nitrogen, salicylic acid, tretinoin, and prednisone have been tried, though with limited success.
