Abstract
Lamellar ichthyosis (LI) is an autosomal recessive disorder rarely associated with systemic organ involvement and development of carcinoma. Rickets has occasionally been described with LI owing to impaired vitamin D synthesis following altered keratinization. There has also been a high association of cutaneous cancers in patients of LI. We as Dermatologists should therefore be very meticulous while doing a full work up of these patients. We report here a case of LI associated with rickets and carcinoma of the hypopharynx.
