title: [Delayed manifestation of Costa's acrokeratoelastosis].
abstract: Acrokeratoelastoidosis, first described in 1952 bei O.G. Costa, belongs to the group of diffuse palmoplantar keratoses without associated symptoms. Probably it is an autosomal dominant trait. We observed a 49 year old female who has noticed her typical skin lesions for 2 years. The most marked histological features are proliferative hyperkeratosis, an almost complete lack of the fine subepithelial elastic fibre network and a marked rarefication of the coarse elastic fibres in the dermis.
