Abstract
|
|
|
Hyperkeratosis of the nipple and areola is a rare skin disordr characterized clinically by thickening and discoloration of the skin of the areola and /or nipple and pathologically by papillomaosis or acanthosis-nigricans like changes.
We report a case of hyperkeratosis of the nipple and areola occuring in a woman with no underlying endocrinopathy and no other additional hyperkeratotic conditions,. The present case seems to be the nevoid form by the Levy-Franckel
classification.
Treatment with topical medications including steroids and keratolytic agents produced no improvement. Therefore we recommended surgical excision because the patient was greatly disturbed by the appearance of the lesions. Surgical excision and
full
thickness skin graft were performed sucessfully.
