Acquired ichtyosis appears to be a rather rare paraneoplasic syndrome, mainly observed during the course of Hodgkin's disease, but also accompanying visceral cancers. Two cases of generalised ichtyosis in patients with bronchial carcinoma are reported, emphasis being placed on the need for systematic investigations to determine this possible aetiology. Diagnostic problems are discussed, as well as hypotheses concerning the pathogenicity of these affections, which is still obscure, emphasis being placed on the secretory potential of these tumours and the role of immunological phenomena.
