Abstract
A 74 year-old-man presented with a 5-year history of nail dystrophy with recurrence of subungual pustules on the distal portion of his right thumb. He had been misdiagnosed as tinea unguium and treated with topical and oral antifungal agents without any improvement. He was referred to our outpatient center and showed erythema, crusting, swelling, subungual pustules and nail dystrophy that was limited to his right thumb. Culture and microscopic examination for bacteria and fungi of the nail were performed several times, but no causative agent was observed. The histological examination of biopsy specimens showed hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis, regular elongation of rete ridges and Kogoj's microabsecces, and the patient was diagnosed as acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau. Topical treatment with clobetasol propionate and calcipotriol improved his nail dystrophy, and the subungual pustules had disappeared after four month. We analyzed 17 cases of acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau reported in Japan since 1984, including our case. Of the 17 cases, 10 cases were observed with nail dystrophy limited to only one finger at the onset, and it is suggested that such localized cases are not rare.
