Adolescent-onset ichthyosiform-like erythroderma with lichenoid tissue reaction: a new entity?
A patient with severe ichthyosiform erythroderma and lichenoid histological changes is presented. We discuss the clinical and histological differential diagnosis, including lupus erythematosus, lichenoid drug eruption, lichen planus, graft-versus-host disease, lymphoma, keratosis lichenoides chronica, Netherton's syndrome and ichthyosiform erythroderma. None of these is consistent with the features in our case, which may represent either a hitherto unreported form of ichthyosiform erythroderma or possibly a new entity.
