Abstract:
Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is a rare skin condition that is of unknown etiology. We present an unusual case of a patient with PRP as the sole initial manifestation of hepatocellular cancer. The course of the patient's illness and management of this case is discussed. Possible reasons for this association are presented.
