Multiple minute digitate hyperkeratosis (also known as "Digitate keratoses," "Disseminated spiked hyperkeratosis," "Familial disseminated piliform hyperkeratosis," and "Minute aggregate keratosis") is a rare cutaneous condition, with about half of cases being familial, inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion, while the other half are sporadic.
This disease has a unique histology, so a biopsy and further tests should be done to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other disorders and malignancy.

Famous quotes containing the words multiple and/or minute:
“... the generation of the 20’s was truly secular in that it still knew its theology and its varieties of religious experience. We are post-secular, inventing new faiths, without any sense of organizing truths. The truths we accept are so multiple that honesty becomes little more than a strategy by which you manage your tendencies toward duplicity.”
—Ann Douglas (b. 1942)
“In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
