Description

A 53-year-old Japanese man presented with eruptions on his palms and soles of a duration of 2 years. We had diagnosed palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP), which was associated with chronic tonsillitis, osteoarthropathy and IgA nephropathy. The skin lesions, symptoms of osteoarthropathy and accumulations on bone scintigraphy improved after tonsillectomy, although the proteinuria persisted. We should keep in mind tonsillectomy as one method to control PPP, which is accompanied by intractable skin lesions and painful oeteoarthropathy.
