چکیده
PsV: psoriasis vulgaris INTRODUCTION Pityriasis amiantacea is a rare clinical condition characterized by masses of waxy and sticky scales that adhere to the scalp and tenaciously attach to hair bundles. Pityriasis amiantacea can be associated with psoriasis vulgaris (PsV).We examined a patient with pityriasis amiantacea caused by PsV who also had keratotic horns on the scalp, histopathologically fibrokeratomas. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of scalp fibrokeratoma stimulated by pityriasis amiantacea and PsV.
