Florid cutaneous papillomatosis.

R A Schwartz, G H Burgess

    Archives of Dermatology
    |December 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Sudden onset of skin conditions like acanthosis nigricans and seborrheic keratoses in older adults can signal underlying cancer. Prompt medical examination for verrucous papillomas is crucial for early cancer detection.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Oncology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Acanthosis nigricans (AN) and seborrheic keratoses are skin conditions sometimes linked to internal malignancies.
    • Early detection of associated cancers is critical for patient prognosis.

    Observation:

    • A 64-year-old woman presented with numerous verrucous papillomas.
    • This was followed by the rapid development of acanthosis nigricans and multiple seborrheic keratoses.
    • Gastric adenocarcinoma was diagnosed during laparotomy.

    Findings:

    • The case highlights a rare presentation of malignancy-associated skin changes.
    • The constellation of symptoms, including verrucous papillomas, AN, and seborrheic keratoses, preceded gastric cancer diagnosis.
    • The authors propose the term "florid cutaneous papillomatosis" for this specific eruption.

    Implications:

    • Sudden onset of these cutaneous conditions in older individuals warrants thorough cancer screening.
    • Recognizing "florid cutaneous papillomatosis" can aid in the early diagnosis of occult malignancies.
    • This emphasizes the importance of the skin as a potential indicator of systemic disease.
