Acquired ichthyosis is a nonhereditary cutaneous disorder characterized by dry, rough skin with scaling that involves significant areas of the body. The disease most commonly manifests in adulthood and usually represents malignancy, especially hematologic disease. We report a 48-year-old woman who presented to the dermatology out-patient clinic because of severe scaling of the skin with a “dirty” appearance. The subsequent study revealed an underlying Hodgkin´s lymphoma.
