Parapsoriasis
Definition 1
An inflammatory skin disorder of unknown etiology characterized by papules and plaques or scaly patches resembling psoriasis. (NCI Thesaurus)
Definition 2
The term applied to a group of relatively uncommon inflammatory, maculopapular, scaly eruptions of unknown etiology and resistant to conventional treatment. Eruptions are both psoriatic and lichenoid in appearance, but the diseases are distinct from psoriasis, lichen planus, or other recognized dermatoses. Proposed nomenclature divides parapsoriasis into two distinct subgroups, PITYRIASIS LICHENOIDES and parapsoriasis en plaques (small- and large-plaque parapsoriasis). (NLM, Medical Subject Headings)
