A 47‐year‐old female with hyperhidrosis developed multiple subepidermal calcified nodules and keratosis punctata on her palms. Although calcification was not detected on eccrine sweat glands around the calcified mass by histologic examination, it was supposed that the eccrine sweat glands may have played a role in inducing these two lesions in our case.
