We report the case of a man with epidermolytic hereditary palmoplantar keratoderma. After failure of topical and systemic therapy, excision and skin grafting of both hands was done in several steps. Attention must be given to the skin-repair procedures (split- or full-thickness grafting), and the exact setting of the suture lines in the fingers is important.
