Acquired Ichthyosis Triggered by an Osseous Hemangiopericytoma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Abstract: Ichthyoses are a heterogeneous group of cutaneous keratinization disorders that can be congenital or acquired. Apart from neoplastic disorders, the acquired form of ichthyosis (AI) has been associated with a variety of diseases including infections, autoimmune/inflammatory and endocrine/metabolic diseases as well as nutritional conditions, medications and others. However, malignancy accounts for half of the reported cases, most commonly including lymphoproliferative disorders. We present a case of AI as a para… Show more

“…Ichthyoses are classified into inherited and acquired forms. 1 AI is histopathologically similar to ichthyosis vulgaris with compact orthohyperkeratosis, including a reduced granular layer and diminished filaggrin expression. 1,2 In our case, the expression of filaggrin was markedly diminished, consistent with previous reports.…”

“…In these cases, varying combinations of Curth's criteria for diagnosing paraneoplastic dermatoses may provide an objective framework for dermatologic assessment: (a) concurrent onset of cutaneous disease and internal malignancy, (b) appearance and resolution of skin disease and malignancy follow a parallel course, (c) the skin disease is not part of a genetic syndrome, (d) paraneoplastic process occurs frequently with specific malignancies, and (e) the cutaneous disease is uncommon in the general population. 23,24 Malignant tumours of various organ systems, multiple myeloma, myelodysplastic syndrome and tumour lysis syndrome have been reported with ichthyosiform lesions; however, no unifying pathomechanism has been determined 23,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31] (Table 1).…”

“…1 Histologically, AI is similar to hereditary ichthyosis vulgaris since it usually presents with mild compact hyperorthokeratosis, reduced or absent granular layers and a reduced rete-papilla pattern. 3 AI has been linked to several diseases such as malignant, infectious, inflammatory, autoimmune, metabolic, nutritional and endocrine disorders, as well as drugs intake, including cimetidine, clofazimine, hydroxyurea, cholesterol-lowering agents, nicotinic acid, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitors, triparanol, allopurinol, butyrophenones. 1,3 We report the first case of AI during acitretin therapy.…”
