S Bartsokas, and J Stratigos, and S Karambali, and B Kassimatis, and J Kapetanakis

A case-report of a patient with acquired ichthyosis is given. The symptoms of the main disease-ascites, heavy edema, cachexia and general dissolution-became manifest at the same time as the cutaneous manifestations. The histological examination of a neck lymph node showed metastases of a carcinoma of the gastrointestinal tract. The autopsy resulted in the diagnosis M. Hodgkin. The dermatosis (ichthyosis) is explained as cutaneous pareneoplastic syndrome. The pathogenesis of the disease and the possible role of A-vitaminosis resp. disturbance of vit. A metabolism in the manifestation of the cutaneous manifestations is discussed.
