Circumscribed acral hypokeratosis is a rare disease, first described in 2002. The lesion is usually located on the palms of the hands or the soles of the feet, is usually benign and asymptomatic. It consists of an erythematous plaque, sharply delimited by a hyperkeratotic border with a slightly depressed surface. This phenomenon usually occurs in middle-aged women. Its pathogenesis remains unknown, and no definitive treatment has been established. Since this entity is usually asymptomatic, many patients are not referred to a specialist, and it may be highly underdiagnosed. Its differential diagnosis includes Bowen's disease and porokeratosis of Mibelli. It is unknown whether it predisposes to malignant transformation, so its evolution should be further investigated.
