Pachyonychia congenita is characterized by symmetrical nail dystrophy, palmoplantar keratoderma, oral leukokeratosis, and follicular hyperkeratosis. In addition to these features, multiple cutaneous cysts of various kinds have been described. We report a case of pachyonychia congenita associated with eruptive vellus hair cyst.
