title: [The Kyrle disease entity and its therapeutic modification by acitretin (etretin)].
abstract: We report on a 50-year-old woman having suffered from atypically located Kyrle's disease for 2 years. Especially the palmoplantar areas were affected by keratotic erythematous papules showing the typical histologic picture of Kyrle's disease. Treatment with acitretin (initial dose 30 mg/day) resulted in almost complete remission after 6 months. A concomitant lichen nitidus remained unchanged.
