Erythrokeratodermia variabilis (EKV) was first described by Mendes da Costa. It is a rare heterogeneous group of inherited cornification disorders characterized by two distinct types of skin lesions: fixed hyperkeratotic plaques and sharply marginated, pruritic, migratory erythematous lesions. We report a case of EKV in a 44-year-old male patient.
