Abstract:
Verrucous psoriasis is a variant of psoriasis that presents with wartlike clinical features and overlapping histologic features of verruca and psoriasis. The disease typically arises in patients with established psoriasis but can occur de novo. We report the case of an 80-year-old man with a history of hypertension and coronary artery disease who presented with a rash characterized by multiple asymptomatic plaques with overlying verrucous nodules on the left side of the body. The lesions appeared shortly after coronary artery bypass surgery with a saphenous vein graft.

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
