Small-Plaque Parapsoriasis (SPP) is a relatively rare, chronic, idiopathic dermatosis, most often seen in middle age people. This disease shows a definite male predominance of approximately 3-4: 1. It is characterized by the presence of round or oval erythematous, slightly scaly plaques on the limbs and trunk. The plaques are usually asymptomatic. The etiology of parapsoriasis is still unknown. This report describes the case of a 64-year-old man with SPP. Histopathologic examination of the skin specimen was compatible with clinical diagnosis.
