[A woman with paraneoplastic dermatoses; signs of recurrent malignancy].

Background: Paraneoplastic dermatoses may be the first manifestation of a malignancy. Rapid recognition is therefore important.

Case Description: A 72-year-old woman who had been treated in the past for metastasised neuroendocrine carcinoma and had undergone curative treatment for stage-1c endometrial carcinoma developed three paraneoplastic dermatoses over a 2-year period: acanthosis nigricans, tripe palms and acquired hypertrichosis lanuginosa.

Subsequent squamous- and basal-cell carcinomas in kidney-transplant recipients after the first skin cancer: cumulative incidence and risk factors.

Background: The risk of skin cancer is highly increased in kidney-transplant recipients (KTR), but the risk of subsequent skin cancers is less well studied. The aim of this study was to estimate the cumulative incidence of subsequent squamous- and basal-cell carcinomas (BCCs) and to analyze potential risk factors.

Methods: All histologically confirmed skin cancers between 1966 and 2006 were included in the study and counted.
