Observation:
Hyperkeratosis lenticularis perstans (HLP) known as Flegel's disease is a rare keratinization disorder characterized by asymptomatic, small, reddish-brown keratotic papules with horny scales. In unusual variant, the trunk involvement has been reported as well. Here we report 80-year old woman presenting with generalized hyperkeratotic horny papules on her body. The clinical and histopathological findings were consistent with HLP. We report a case presenting with widespread Flegel’s disease who responded to acitretin treatment.
