[Ichthyosis uteri (psoriasis uteri) : A very rare disorder]. / Ichthyosis uteri (Psoriasis uteri) : Ein äußerst seltener Befund.

In ichthyosis uteri, the entire endometrium is replaced by squamous, sometimes even keratotic epithelium. The etiology is discussed controversially and not fully understood. However, in most cases a chronic inflammatory stimulus is identified. An association with malignancy is possible. Therefore, adequate consecutive diagnostic procedures, as well as exact macro- and micromorphologic evaluation is mandatory. In this case report we describe this currently rare disorder and review the main literature on this topic.
