ABSTRACT

Psoriasis ostraceous is characterized by hyperkeratotic plaques similar in shape to oyster shells. The terms rupioid and ostraceous describe morphological subtypes of psoriasis. We report a 54 year-old male with psoriasis of the scalp, ears, abdomen, and legs. Treatment with topical salicylic acid and coal tar yielded a satisfactory response.
