Palmoplantar orthokeratotic filiform hyperkeratosis is characterized by multiple, spiny, keratotic projections. We report a new case, occurring in an 85-year-old woman, associated with typical Darier’s disease involving her chest and groin, that may be not fortuitous. Three previous reports point out its possible association with underlying diseases, such as malignancy or Darier’s disease.
