Urticaria and large cell undifferentiated carcinoma of lung
Dermatology Online Journal
|January 18, 2006
Abstract:
The association of urticaria with internal cancer is known mostly with lymphoreticular system malignancies. Rarely, it occurs with cancer of lung, mostly with adenocarcinoma or small cell carcinoma. We report a unique occurrence of urticaria on a patient who suffered from large cell undifferentiated carcinoma of lung. Only the treatment for malignancy relieved the patient from his long standing cutaneous manifestation.
