Abstract
X-linked dominant chondrodysplasia punctata is a rare genodermatosis c haracterized by transient punctate epiphyseal calcifications and ichth yotic skin changes, usually resolving during early infancy. We describ e the case of a 32-year-old woman with ichthyotic skin lesions that de veloped during early childhood and persisted into adulthood. Psoriasif orm skin changes became evident for the first time during adulthood. B oth the ichthyotic and psoriasiform skin lesions followed Blaschko's l ines. This case is unique because of the coexistence of ichthyotic and psoriasiform skin changes in an adult with X-linked dominant chondrod ysplasia punctata.
