title: Autotransplantation in pustular psoriasis.
abstract: Five women with chronic pustular psoriasis of the soles were subjected to transplantation of full thickness cylinders of tissue between normal glabrous skin and involved plantar skin. Concomitant psoriasis was present in only one of the patients. All patients developed typical pustular psoriasis in normal skin implanted in the foot, while previously involved plantar skin reverted to normal scar when placed in glabrous areas.
