Acquired ichthyosis in a child with rhabdomyosarcoma.
A generalized ichthyosiform eruption developed in a 13-year-old boy three weeks before presentation with a paravertebral rhabdomyosarcoma. His skin returned to normal shortly after the onset of chemotherapy and remission of the tumor. This case is unusual because the ichthyosis developed acutely, following a generalized urticarial eruption, and also involved the palms and soles.
