Abstract
Aquagenic syringeal acrokeratoderma (ASA) is a rare kind of an acquired keratoderma that predominantly affects adolescents and young females. The etiology is unknown. Clinically, ASA is characterized by transient edematous white papules and plaques occurring a few minutes after exposure to water. It is most commonly localized on the palms, but may also affect the plantar area and dorsum of the hand. Despite the female predominance mentioned in the literature, the aim of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of six male patients diagnosed with ASA in our clinic.
Özet
Akuajenik siringeal akrokeratoderma (ASA); etiyolojisi bilinmeyen, sıklıkla adölesan ve genç erişkin kadınları etkileyen, nadir, edinsel bir keratoderma türüdür. Klinik olarak suyla temastan birkaç dakika sonra ortaya çıkan, geçici ödematöz beyaz papül ve plaklarla karakterizedir. Sıklıkla palmar yüzeylerde lokalizedir, el dorsalleri ve ayak tabanını da etkileyebilir. Bu çalışmada; literatürde kadın predominansı üzerinde durulmasına rağmen, kliniğimizde ASA tanısı alan altı erkek hastanın klinik özelliklerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
