Cutaneous Clues to Visceral Cancer

In summary, we have briefly reviewed some of the changes in the skin which should alert the experienced clinician to the possibility that his patient is the carrier of an internal cancer or lymphoma. Such patients deserve the benefit of a thorough evaluation, with laboratory and roentgenographic studies sufficient to locate or rule out neoplasia. Even if initial studies do not uncover a tumor, these patients should be kept under observation, since the malignancy may become overt only weeks or months after the appearance of the cutaneous signs.

By careful scrutiny of the cutaneous changes, physicians can thus be alerted and make an early diagnosis of internal malignancy.
