    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Context:

    • Paraneoplastic acro keratosis (PAK) is a rare cutaneous condition.
    • It presents as a significant marker for underlying malignancy.
    • The condition typically affects the extremities and face.

    Purpose:

    • To describe the clinical features of paraneoplastic acro keratosis.
    • To highlight its association with specific types of cancer.
    • To emphasize its role as an early indicator of malignancy.

    Summary:

    • PAK manifests as psoriasis-like squamous erythema on the face, hands, and feet, with concurrent nail changes.
    • These dermatological signs are consistently linked to malignant epitheliomas, predominantly spinocellular carcinomas of the upper respiratory and digestive tracts.

  • Successful surgical treatment of the primary tumor results in the regression of skin lesions, which may recur upon tumor relapse.

    • Impact:

    • Enhances understanding of paraneoplastic syndromes.
    • Promotes earlier cancer diagnosis through dermatological surveillance.
    • Improves patient outcomes by linking skin manifestations to timely oncological intervention.
