ABSTRACT

Pachyonychia congenita is a rare genodermatosis of autosomal dominant inheritance pattern that affects keratinization at the level of skin, nails and mucous membranes. The first case was described by Jadassohn and Lewandowsky in 1906 and it affects thousands of people around the world. The International Pachyonychia Congenita Research Registry (IPCRR) has identified until January 2020, worldwide, 977 individuals in 517 families with pachyonychia congenita genetically confirmed. This condition is considered in our country as an orphan disease and there has only been one previous case report in 2009. We present a case of a 23-year old male patient from the rural area of Timbio, Colombia, with a history of hypertrophic nail dystrophy in all nails and toenails, palmoplantar keratoderma and moderate plantar pain. In addition, he presented oral leucokeratosis, follicular hyperkeratosis in the thighs, and palmoplantar hyperhidrosis. No follicular cysts were present nor history of natal teeth. Clinical manifestations were classified as typical of congenital pachyonychia type I. Furthermore, similar clinical manifestations were identified in other family members from three generations, including his brother, mother and maternal grandmother, a characteristic inheritance pattern of this illness.
