[Determining groups at risk of cancer in skin diseases]
Abstract:
The frequency of subsequent tumor development in patients suffering from acquired ichthyosis and Darier's erythema as well as cases of concurrent dermatosis and malignant diseases was studied. The clinical course of said skin diseases was followed versus the effectiveness of tumor treatment. Acquired ichthyosis was found to be associated predominantly with neoplasms while the incidence of Darier's erythema was not. As a result, cases of acquired ichthyosis should be considered at high risk for cancer for life while patients with Darier's erythema aged more than 40 years should not be necessarily tested for tumors unless they have suffered dermatosis for at least three years.
