Psoriasis with verrucous appearance: A case report
Journal Title: Nasza Dermatologia Online - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Psoriasis verrucosa is a rare clinical variant of psoriasis with peculiar histologic features. Only few cases have been reported in the literature. We herein report a rare case of psoriasis with verrucous appearance occurring in a 63 year-old woman who presented with verrucous and scaly erythematous plaque of the legs which was developed thirty years ago. The biopsy specimen showed regular psoriasiform epidermal hyperplasia with acanthosis, hyperkeratosis, and focal spongiosis with a superficial perivascular infiltrate. The patient was diagnosed with verrucous psoriasis. Recognition of this entity should preempt confusion with verruca vulgaris or other entities capable of producing wart-like epidermal changes.
