Dermatologic several dermatologic manifestations

Dermatologic several dermatologic manifestations can
be related to malignancy. most commonly associated
with lung cancer are dermatomyositis, acquired tylosis, tripe
palms, and erythema gyratum repens. 93 dermatomyositis is
identified by a bluish purple “heliotrope” rash on the upper
eyelids, a flat rash on the face and trunk, and erythema and
scaling of the knuckles that typically precede muscle weakness. 94
acquired tylosis presents with keratoderma in palmar and
plantar areas. tripe palms are thickened palms with the fingers
acquiring a velvety texture. this condition will occur
independently or will be found during association with acanthosis
nigricans. quite 90% of patients with tripe palms
have an underlying or associated malignancy. 95 erythema
gyratum repens may be a reactive erythema presenting with lesions
that manufacture a “wood-grain” appearance of the affected skin,
particularly on the trunk and proximal extremities. pruritus
will become debilitating. an associated malignancy is usually
present with erythema gyratum repens, with lung cancer
observed most frequently
