Parapsoriasis refers to one of a group of skin disorders that are characterized primarily by their resemblance to psoriasis (red, scaly lesions), rather than by their underlying cause.
Neoplasms can develop from parapsoriasis.{{cite journal |vauthors=Sehgal VN, Srivastava G, Aggarwal AK |title=Parapsoriasis: a complex issue |journal=Skinmed |volume=6 |issue=6 |pages=280–6 |year=2007 |pmid=17975354 |doi=10.1111/j.1540-9740.2007.06490.x}} For example, it can develop into cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
The word "parapsoriasis" was formed in 1902.{{cite journal |vauthors=Lambert WC, Everett MA |title=The nosology of parapsoriasis |journal=J. Am. Acad. Dermatol. |volume=5 |issue=4 |pages=373–95 |date=Oct 1981 |pmid=7026622 |doi=10.1016/S0190-9622(81)70100-2}}
Classification
The parapsoriasis groups, described and debated for nearly a century, has spawned a confusing nomenclature. There are some authors who prefer to limit the term "parapsoriasis" to large- and small-plaque variants only. However, the following classification scheme is now generally accepted:Freedberg, et al. (2003). Fitzpatrick's Dermatology in General Medicine. (6th ed.). McGraw-Hill. {{ISBN|0-07-138076-0}}.{{rp|450}}
