Because many clinical and histopathologic features of palmoplantar psoriasis (PP) overlap with those of other dermatoses, differential diagnosis is far from trivial.

Parakeratosis alternating with orthokeratotic areas, degeneration of the stratum granulosum, and neutrophils in the stratum corneum indicate PP, the researchers concluded.
