Congenital Ichthyosiform Erythroderma and Lamellar Ichthyosis: Two Patients Contrasted

Congenital reticular ichthyosiform erythroderma.

Non-bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma.

A 4-day-old neonate was brought with complaints of fissuring and peeling of skin involving almost the whole body. The neonate had generalized desquamation not even sparing the palms, soles and face. The parents informed that the baby was born, enclosed in a constricting parchmentlike membrane (collodion baby) that had gradually comeoff.

CLINICAL REPORT Congenital Reticular Ichthyosiform Erythroderma — Ichthyosis Variegata: a Case Report and Review of the Literature

We present a 32-year-old white patient with congenital reticular ichthyosiform erythroderma, also known as ichthyosis variegata. The patient had typical clinical features with areas of normal appearing skin surrounded by erythematous hyperkeratotic patches. The smaller ‘‘confetti-like’’ patches were mostly present on the trunk, while the larger areas forming a reticular pattern predominated on ...

Acquired ichthyosiform erythroderma and sarcoidosis.

We describe a patient with ichthyosiform erythroderma as a manifestation of sarcoidosis. This is the first report of the simultaneous occurrence of erythroderma and ichthyosis in sarcoidosis.

Collodion Baby with TGM1 gene mutation

Collodion baby (CB) is normally diagnosed at the time of birth and refers to a newborn infant that is delivered with a lambskin-like membrane encompassing the total body surface. CB is not a specific disease entity, but is a common phenotype in conditions like harlequin ichthyosis, lamellar ichthyosis, nonbullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma, and trichothiodystrophy. We report a CB tha...
