Abstract

Purpose of Review

There are a variety of distinct clinical presentations of skin diseases associated with an internal malignancy. Herein, we review some of the cutaneous manifestations of paraneoplastic syndromes and dermatoses that may be evaluated in the inpatient setting. Descriptions of clinical findings, associated systemic signs and symptoms, and diagnostic work-up are presented.

Recent Findings

Paraneoplastic syndromes are very rare. Isolated case reports with subsequent pooled literature reviews make up the majority of recent published literature.

Summary

The association between certain skin conditions and malignancies is well established, making them important signs or harbingers of internal disease. Recognizing these paraneoplastic dermatoses during inpatient consultations can result in timely discovery of malignancy.
