Abdominal Lymphadenopathy
In 2001 the patient revealed inguinal and abdominal lymphadenopathy first diagnosed as extramedullary plasmacytoma and then as multiple myeloma on the basis of bone marrow infiltration and monoclonal gammopathy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Sputum
Patients with these conditions should undergo frequent medical examinations, which should include chest radiography and cytologic examination of the sputum. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cardiovascular

Palpitations
The cardiac abnormality (Fig 2 ) was not clinically manifest until the patient was 15 years of age, and onset was usually with palpitation or syncope. [circ.ahajournals.org]

Skin
-
Sparse to No Eyebrows
The eyelashes are short and sparse, and the eyebrows as well as axillary and pubic hair are also sparse or absent (1), as in our case. During infancy, the nails are typically milky white, gradually thickening throughout childhood. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment
Early treatment with acitretin in childhood may allow patients to have normal adult dentition. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Thirteen years later SLE was diagnosed and until now it is also accompanied by skin lesions corresponding to non-familial, diffuse palmoplantar keratoderma which is resistant to treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The treatment of Diffuse Hereditary Palmoplantar Keratoderma is based upon the cause of the condition. Symptomatic treatment of the various abnormalities associated with this form of keratoderma may be undertaken. [dovemed.com]
Etretinate and acitretin are effective, but as treatment must be continued lifelong, systemic retinoids should be used only in the most severe cases as side effects are problematic. [skincareguide.ca]

Prognosis
When PPK is associated with malignancy the prognosis is poor. Patients with these conditions should undergo frequent medical examinations, which should include chest radiography and cytologic examination of the sputum. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It may be the only change or a part of a more widespread dermatosis or even a manifestation of an internal malady. [1] The hereditary disorders present distinctive differences in their clinical features, mode of inheritance, associated defects and prognosis [ijdvl.com]

Etiology
The exact etiology and pathogenesis of this syndrome are still not fully understood. Several factors were attributed to the etiology of PLS-periodontitis including microbiologic, immunologic, and genetic. [omicsonline.org]

Epidemiologic surveys in young individuals have been performed in many parts of the world and among individuals with a widely varied background. [omicsonline.org]
Epidemiological data are limited, but there is evidence to support geographical clustering, for example in northern Italy, 8 and this may suggest areas of high prevalence. [circ.ahajournals.org]
