Abstract: A 43-year-old Chinese man developed crops of pustules on soles for 7 months and subungual pustules for 6 months. Biopsy on the sole lesion revealed intraepidermal unilocular pustules filled with bulk of neutrophils. This case proved to be palmoplantar pustulosis with nail involvement. After 28-week treatment with arotinoid ethyl ester, all plantar and subungual lesions cleared completely. The treatment of PPP is challenge; especially for the subungual pustules are rare and difficult to be diagnosed and treated. Herein we report the case and effective therapy with literature review.
