ICD-11 definition : Acquired ichthyosis resembles autosomal dominant ichthyosis vulgaris but develops
in adult life in individuals without a previous history of ichthyosis. It may be caused
by certain drugs but when associated with underlying malignancy (i.e. paraneoplastic)
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.;
