Epidermolytic acanthomas are a cutaneous condition characterized by discrete keratotic papules in adults.[1]
Epidermolytic acanthomas may exist in groups or as solitary lesions. They range in size from 1-2 mm. They usually affect the trunk, extremities, scrotum, or vulva. They are sometimes itchy.
The cause of epidermolytic acanthoma is unknown.
Epidermolytic acanthoma is diagnosed based on clinical and histological signs. Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis is the main characteristic of epidermolytic acanthoma.
Treatment isn't needed.
