Acquired perforating dermatosis (APD) is an uncommon skin eruption of unclear etiology that most often is associated with diabetes mellitus or chronic renal insufficiency. There are rare reports of APD in association with liver disease or thyroid disease. We report a case of APD in a patient with both primary biliary cirrhosis and Hashimoto thyroiditis in the absence of diabetes mellitus and chronic renal insufficiency. The patient had a partial response to narrowband UVB phototherapy.
