title: The histology of ichthyosis.
abstract: Histological features of 12 biopsy specimens from patients with ichthyosis inherited as a dominant trait were compared with 15 specimens from patients with ichthyosis inherited as a sex-linked recessive trait and with 12 control sections from normal skin. Characteristic features that distinguished each inherited variety were described. The histology of sex-linked ichthyosis is very similar to that of non-bullous ichthyosiform erythrodermia.
