It is characterized by hyperkeratosis, alopecia, nail dystrophy, hearing loss, and ocular involvement. While dermatological management is well described, surgical experience with wound treatment in KID syndrome remains extremely limited. The objective of this report is to describe the surgical management and outcomes of a patient with chronic lower-limb wounds associated with KID syndrome. Methods: A 35-year-old male with KID syndrome was referred to the surgical outpatient clinic for chronic traumatic wounds of both lower limbs resistant to conservative dermatological therapy. Initial outpatient treatment included serial sharp surgical debridement under local anesthesia, combined with topical keratolytics and silver sulfadiazine with hyaluronic acid. Due to minimal improvement after three months, an inpatient surgical approach was initiated, involving complete excision of hyperkeratotic tissue, creation of a wide ulcer bed, and adjunct systemic and topical therapies. Results: The inpatient management enabled thorough removal of pathological tissue and better control of local infection and inflammation. Combined systemic antibiotic and antipsoriatic therapy, together with topical sodium hyaluronate and iodine, was associated with gradual wound healing and improved skin condition. The patient tolerated the procedures well, without major complications. Conclusions: Surgical debridement and excision, when combined with targeted dermatological and antimicrobial therapy, can be an effective and safe strategy for managing chronic wounds in KID syndrome. This case highlights the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration and individualized surgical planning in this extremely rare disorder.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm15010011","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,19]],"date-time":"2025-12-19T12:05:35Z","timestamp":1766145935000},"page":"11","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Case Report of Wound Treatment with Hyiodine Gel in an Occasional KID Syndrome Patient"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0822-8929","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marianna","family":"Hajsk\u00e1","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Comenius University Bratislava, Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital, 4th Department of Surgery, Bratislava, Ru\u017einovsk\u00e1 6, 82606 Bratislava, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7964-8613","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Silvia","family":"Bittner Fialov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Comenius University Bratislava, Faculty of Pharmacy, Department of Pharmacognosy and Botany, Odboj\u00e1rov 10, 83232 Bratislava, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1361-0831","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martin","family":"Dubovsk\u00fd","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Comenius University Bratislava, Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital, 4th Department of Surgery, Bratislava, Ru\u017einovsk\u00e1 6, 82606 Bratislava, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1895-1790","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arp\u00e1d","family":"Panyko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Comenius University Bratislava, Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital, 4th Department of Surgery, Bratislava, Ru\u017einovsk\u00e1 6, 82606 Bratislava, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Montanari, A., Caroppo, F., Amabile, A., Fortina Belloni, A., and Bassetto, F.
