Brocq, 1902

Definition
This section has been translated automatically.

Term introduced by Brocq in 1902 as a temporary measure for various rare, chronic, unclassifiable, erythematosquamous, therapy-resistant skin diseases. The diseases of the parapsoriasis group have no nosological relationship to psoriasis and there are also no pathogenetic similarities between them.

The large-heart inflammatory parapsoriasis en plaques is to be regarded as initial cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.

The small-spot parapsoriasis is generally classified as indiopathic, benign, chronic dermatitis (some authors doubt the absolute "benignity" of small-spot parapsoriasis - see on this under Parapsoriasis en plaques benign small-spot form - and doubt an own entity).
