Acquired ichthyosis: a marker for internal disease.

R A Schwartz, M L Williams

    American Family Physician
    |February 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Acquired ichthyosis in adults can signal underlying systemic diseases such as sarcoidosis, cancers like Hodgkin's lymphoma, leprosy, hypothyroidism, and kidney failure. Early detection of these skin changes is crucial for identifying serious internal conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Internal Medicine
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Ichthyosis, a group of skin disorders characterized by dry, scaling skin, can manifest in adulthood.
    • Acquired ichthyosis, unlike inherited forms, develops later in life and may indicate other health issues.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the association between adult-onset ichthyosis and significant internal medical conditions.
    • To emphasize the importance of investigating systemic diseases in patients presenting with acquired ichthyosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical literature and case studies linking ichthyosis to systemic diseases.
    • Analysis of diagnostic criteria and patient presentations.

    Main Results:

    • Adult-onset ichthyosis is frequently associated with internal diseases.
    • Specific conditions linked to acquired ichthyosis include sarcoidosis, malignancies (notably Hodgkin's lymphoma), leprosy, hypothyroidism, chronic renal failure, and nutritional deficiencies.

    Conclusions:

    • Acquired ichthyosis serves as a potential cutaneous marker for serious underlying systemic pathology.
    • Physicians should consider a thorough internal medical evaluation for adult patients with new-onset ichthyosis to rule out associated diseases.
