Sažetak
Ichthyoses are a heterogeneous group of skin disorders featuring erythro-
derma and generalized scaling. The relationship between ichthyosis and melanoma has
not been well-characterized. Herein we present a unique case of acral melanoma of the
palm developing in an elderly patient with congenital ichthyosis vulgaris. Biopsy revealed
a superficially spreading melanoma with ulceration. To the best of our knowledge, no
acral melanomas have been reported so far in patients with congenital ichthyosis. Nev-
ertheless, considering the potential for invasion and metastasis, patients with ichthyosis
vulgaris should undergo regular clinical and dermatoscopic screening for melanoma.
