description The Curth-Macklin type of ichthyosis hystrix is an extremely rare genodermatosis presenting as generalized or nevoid forms. Clinical expression varies in the time of onset and morphology, even within families, from painful palmoplantar keratoderma to a severe, generalized involvement with hyperkeratotic and papillomatous coalescent papules distributed extensively and bilaterally in whorled arrays of thickened, darkened, hystrixlike velvety lesions anywhere on the skin surface. There are few case reports of patients with ichthyosis hystrix who developed malignancies. We report a sporadic case of a 73-year-old man who presented with an unusual manifestation of ichthyosis hystrix and developed squamous cell carcinoma. Ichthyosis hystrix Curth-Macklin is a rare congenital ichthyosis that has developed multiple keratoses and malignancies over a long time. Therefore, early diagnosis, treatment, and regular follow-up are required in these patients.
