Neoplasms can develop from parapsoriasis.[1] For example, it can develop into cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
The word "parapsoriasis" was formed in 1902.[2]
Classification
The parapsoriasis groups, described and debated for nearly a century, has spawned a confusing nomenclature. There are some authors who prefer to limit the term "parapsoriasis" to large- and small-plaque variants only.[2] However, the following classification scheme is now generally accepted:[3]:450
- Large-plaque parapsoriasis
- Small-plaque parapsoriasis
- Pityriasis lichenoides
- Lymphomatoid papulosis
Diagnosis
gollark: I was thinking about a more advanced cert system in potatOS, but never did this.
gollark: As planned.
gollark: True, although I think you may be able to compensate for that with another computer sending things to test for latency and/or a lot of samples.
gollark: It might be a problem with HTTP services if sending HTTP requests/websocket frames are *not* entirely tied to ticks.
gollark: Modem messages are only received on each tick right?
