This case study highlights a rare instance of rupioid psoriasis with associated arthropathy. Prompt treatment with methotrexate and topical steroids effectively resolved both the skin lesions and arthritis.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Rheumatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition.
  • Arthropathy can be a manifestation of psoriatic disease.
  • Rupioid psoriasis is a rare, distinct variant characterized by conical, layered lesions.

Observation:

  • A 28-year-old male presented with severe arthritis and distinctive limpet-like, cone-shaped skin lesions.
  • Histopathology confirmed features of psoriasis, including Munro's and Kogoj microabscesses.
  • Radiological imaging revealed bilateral sacroiliitis, indicating joint involvement.

Findings:

  • The patient experienced a dramatic response to intramuscular methotrexate combined with topical steroids, emollients, and occlusive dressings.
  • Resolution of both cutaneous lesions and arthritic symptoms was achieved within three weeks.

  • No recurrence of skin lesions was observed during a two-year follow-up period.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of recognizing and managing rare presentations of psoriatic disease.
    • Early and aggressive treatment can lead to significant improvement in both skin and joint manifestations.
    • Methotrexate remains a viable and effective therapeutic option for severe psoriatic arthropathy.
