Acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau is a rare, localized variant of pustular psoriasis commonly associated with join disease and severe quality of life impairment. While there are no standard treatment guidelines, therapies used for psoriasis vulgaris are commonly tried. We report a case of severe acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau in a patient with multiple comorbidities (advanced malignancy, recurrent empyema, psoriatic arthritis) where tildrakizumab lead to a rapid resolution of skin and joint disease which was maintained 1 year later. To date, there are only four cases reporting the use of IL-23 inhibitors class in acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau and none for tildrakizumab. However, IL-23 inhibitors should be strongly considered among the treatment of choice for acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau, especially in patients with ongoing malignancy and/or high risk of infections.
