Overview

Large plaque parapsoriasis (also known as "parapsoriasis en plaques"[1]) are skin lesions that may be included in the modern scheme of cutaneous conditions described as parapsoriasis.[2] These lesions, called plaques, may be irregularly round-shaped to oval and are 10 cm (3.93700787 in) or larger in diameter.[2] They can be very thin plaques that are symptomatic or mildly pruritic.[2][3] Large-plaque parapsoriasis is a common associate of retiform parapsoriasis, can be accompanied by poikiloderma vasculare atrophicans, and can in rare occasions be a precursor to cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.[2]
