[Acquired ichthyosis caused by bladder neoplasia. Presentation of the 1st case in Cuba].

Ichthyosiform dermatoses comprise a heterogeneous group of cutaneous disease characterized by keratin disorder that clinically manifests as dry, rough and scaly skin. The acquired form of ichthyosis has principally been associated with neoplastic disease. It has also been described in association with other disorders and as drug-induced cutaneous manifestations. We report on a patient with a bladder tumor who developed acquired ichthyosis, a complication and presenting feature of the underlying neoplastic condition. The clinical manifestations and associated conditions are described. To our knowledge, this is the first case of acquired ichthyosis from a bladder tumor reported in Cuba.
