title: Ichthyotic and psoriasiform skin lesions along Blaschko's lines in a woman with X-linked dominant chondrodysplasia punctata.
abstract: X-linked dominant chondrodysplasia punctata is a rare genodermatosis characterized by transient punctate epiphyseal calcifications and ichthyotic skin changes, usually resolving during early infancy. We describe the case of a 32-year-old woman with ichthyotic skin lesions that developed during early childhood and persisted into adulthood. Psoriasiform skin changes became evident for the first time during adulthood. Both the ichthyotic and psoriasiform skin lesions followed Blaschko's lines. This case is unique because of the coexistence of ichthyotic and psoriasiform skin changes in an adult with X-linked dominant chondrodysplasia punctata.
