A case of verrucous psoriasis

Dermatol Online J. 2011 May 15;17(5):10.

Abstract

Psoriasis is a common inflammatory disease with a range of clinical presentations and a chronic relapsing course. There have been few reports of verrucous psoriasis, which is distinguished by its warty appearance and characteristic histology. We report a case of this rare form of psoriasis in an elderly woman with a history of plaque-type psoriasis and and discuss the histopathologic findings.
