ABSTRACT
Adults acquired ichthyosis is generally related to systemic diseases such as hemopathies. We report the case of a 62 year-old man with a history of a stomach cancer who presented a generalized edema with skin sclerosis settling over a month. No other examination abnormalities were found. Biological tests revealed hypereosinophilia with a high level of lactate dehydrogenase. Digestive endoscopy found no new lesions. The thoraco-abdomino-pelvic scan revealed multiple lymphadenopathies. The skin biopsy showed the aspect of a paraneoplastic ichthyosis. A lymphadenopathy biopsy revealed a Hodgkin lymphoma in the classic form. Skin lesions regressed under chemotherapy.
