title: Neutrophilic dermatosis of the dorsal hands: a restrictive designation for an acral entity.
abstract: In 2000, Galaria et al. proposed the designation neutrophilic dermatosis of the dorsal hands (NDDH). The authors describe a case of NDDH with predominant involvement of the palmar aspect of the hands in a patient suffering from lung cancer, a possible paraneoplastic manifestation. Therefore, the term NDDH is not accurate because palmar manifestations of this dermatosis are also possible.
