AI Article Synopsis
- Various skin conditions can signal serious underlying cancers, particularly in the gastrointestinal area.
- A case study focuses on a 35-year-old man who developed numerous wart-like skin lesions alongside other skin issues, significantly affecting his appearance.
- Prior to the skin symptoms, he experienced digestive problems, and a stomach growth was later identified as adenocarcinoma through a gastroscopy and biopsy.
Article Abstract
Various paraneoplastic dermatoses may be seen in association with underlying visceral, especially gastrointestinal, malignancy. Florid cutaneous papillomatosis describes the sudden appearance of multiple acuminate keratotic papules that morphologically resemble viral warts. It may be seen in association with acanthosis nigricans and/or the sign of Leser Triotalat. We report a 35-year-old male with extensive seborrhoeic keratoses and florid cutaneous papillomatosis. Unusually marked verrucous changes caused disfigurement of the hands and feet. The patient also reported dyspepsia, abdominal distention and weight loss 6 months prior to the development of cutaneous lesions. Gastroscopy revealed a large growth in the stomach. Histopathology of the tumor showed features of adenocarcinoma.

Primary cutaneous gamma/delta (γδ) T-cell lymphoma (PCGDTCL) is a rare, aggressive malignant neoplasm of γδ T lymphocytes arising within the skin and subcutis. We present a challenging case of PCGDTCL diagnosed in a 35-year-old male soldier who presented with constitutional symptoms, pancytopenia, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), disseminated lymphadenopathy, and cutaneous lesions on his extremities and back following a deployment to Iraq and Syria. Histopathologic evaluation of an excisional biopsy showed that PCGDTCL can be focal, localized to the subcutaneous adipose tissue, and obscured by predominant HLH in the surrounding tissues.

Article Synopsis
- Inverted follicular keratosis (IFK) is typically a harmless skin tumor, but some cases have presented similarly on genital skin with characteristics that could suggest squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
- In a study of four young women with these genital tumors, researchers found distinct histopathological features indicating a non-invasive growth pattern, without signs of SCC, and confirmed the diagnosis through various tests.
- The findings led the authors to suggest calling these cases "proliferating IFK" to clarify that they are a variant of IFK and to prevent misdiagnosis as SCC.

is a gram-negative bacterium found commonly in water and soil. Initially thought to be non-pathogenic, it is now recognised as an important cause of nosocomial and opportunistic infections. Skin infections are rare, but cases of causing ulcers, abscesses and necrotizing fasciitis have been reported.
