title: Claude Huriez and his syndrome.
abstract: Claude Huriez (1907-1984) was a well-known French dermatologist. In the 1960s, Huriez and colleagues reported two families from northern France with a rare congenital genodermatosis-later known as Huriez syndrome. This syndrome is characterized by scleroatrophy of the hands and feet, nail hypoplasia, mild palmoplantar keratoderma, and hypohidrosis and is a cancer-prone genodermatosis. This report sheds light on Huriez and the syndrome that bears his name.
