Introduction:
Leser-Trelat sign is a paraneoplastic marker characerized by the abrupt appearance of seborrheic keratoses. It is described in association with many underlying malignant diseases.
Case Report:
We report a case of coexistence of two rare entities, represented by the Leser-Trelat sign occurring with male breast cancer.
Discussion:
The asscociation of male breast cancer and LT sign is decidedly unusual. To our knowledge, our case report is the second to describe the association of these two rare entities.
Conclusion:
A proper dermatological examination and a good knowledge of cutaneous paraneoplastic syndromes can be of great help in screening for multiple skin cancers.

When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
