Paraneoplastic acquired ichthyosis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/824116071

Paraneoplastic ichthyosis is a form of acquired ichthyosis which resembles autosomal dominant ichthyosis vulgaris but develops in adult life in individuals with underlying malignancy. It is strongly associated with Hodgkin lymphoma and may be the presenting sign of that disease. It may less commonly be associated with other lymphoid neoplasms or solid tumours.
