title: Hereditary Punctate Palmoplantar Keratoderma (PPK) (Brauer-Buschke-Fischer Syndrome).
abstract: We describe the first case of a sixty-five-year-old male field worker from India, having lesions of hereditary punctate palmoplantar keratoderma with an autosomally dominant pattern of inheritance. Associations included nail abnormalities in the form of longitudinal ridging, onychorrhexis, onychoschizia, trachyonychia and notching, which has been reported only on one previous occasion. The article also presents a brief review of the literature.
