Acantholytic dyskeratotic acanthoma (ADA) is a rare benign condition characterized by circumscribed epidermal proliferation displaying both acantholysis and dyskeratosis. It is of unknown etiology and pathogenesis. We report a case of ADA of long duration in a 75-year-old female along with a review of literature with special reference to cases reported during the past 10 years.
