A 30-year-old female presented with multiple nodules, grouped, hyperkeratotic, brownish and malodorous on his feet (Fig. 1), which had been present for more than 3 years. Histopathological examination showed classical feature of “church spires” appearance without dyskeratosis (Fig. 2). Acrokeratosis Verruciformis of Hopf is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis. It usually develops during early childhood affecting both sexes equally. Typically, the lesions are warty to convex, brownish to skin-colored papules on the dorsa of the hands and feet, forearms and legs. Histopathologically, the lesion shows considerable hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, and papillomatosis, mimicking a “church spire”, and a thickened granular layer. It arises in early life, often at birth or infancy.
The only effective treatment of AKV is superficial ablation.
