[Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung associated with palmo-plantar hyperkeratosis]
Abstract:
Palmo-plantar hyperkeratosis (PPH) is a diffuse keratoderma of the palms and soles that has been reported to be associated with internal malignancies such as lung and esophageal carcinomas. When PPH is associated with malignancy the prognosis is poor. The present patient was a 48-year-old man with PPH who suffered from squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. The pathological stage was T4N2M1 and the patient died of recurrent tumor 17 months after surgery. Because the prognosis of lung carcinoma associated with PPH is poor, patients with these conditions should undergo frequent medical examinations, which should include chest radiography and cytologic examination of sputum.

Cells of the Epidermis
The cells in all these layers except the stratum basale are called keratinocytes, a type of cell that manufactures and stores the protein keratin. The keratinocytes in the stratum corneum are dead and regularly slough away, being replaced by cells from...
Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
