Psoriasis is a common cutaneous disease with a world prevalence of 0.9-8.5%. It is a chronic, inflammatory, immune mediated condition that leads to epidermal hyperplasia and an array of clinical presentations. Psoriasis ostracea is a rare hyperkeratotic variant of psoriasis. Although frequently associated with psoriatic arthritis, there are few reports in the literature. Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic, seronegative, inflammatory arthritic disease, in which the symptoms usually emerge years after skin lesions appear. The case is presented of a patient, who after 10-years of adequate Infliximab treatment, had an unusual presentation of psoriatic arthritis associated with psoriasis ostracea.

Keywords : Psoriasis; Psoriatic arthritis; Infliximab.
