Dermal paraneoplastic syndromes are non-malignant disorders, caused indirectly by the increase in growth factors or as immunological reactions, which lead to a variety of inflammatory, hyperkeratotic or proliferative skin reactions. They can occur as facultative or obligate paraneoplastic dermatoses, which are associated with oncological processes (solid tumours or hematologic diseases). The recognition of paraneoplastic skin disorders can accelerate proper diagnosis and determine better prognosis for the patient and is also important to clinicians because it is often the first symptom of life-threatening malignancies. Many of them may also cause ocular changes that can lead to serious complications including perforation of the eye bulb, vascular changes in the retina resulting in vision loss and demand multidisciplinary co-operation with an ophthalmologist. This manuscript is a review of the literature about eye disorders in association with dermal paraneoplastic syndromes.

Article Synopsis
- * A 73-year-old woman with atypical morphoea exhibited skin thickening and mobility issues, leading to the discovery of lung adenocarcinoma and a later diagnosis of a metastatic neuroendocrine tumor.

Article Synopsis
- - Neutrophilic dermatosis of the hands (NDDH) is a recently identified localized variant of Sweet's syndrome, characterized by violaceous papulonodules on the hands, lacking true vasculitis findings, as outlined by Strutton et al. (1996) and Galaria et al. (2000).
- - A 46-year-old man presented with a painful, ulcerative lesion on his left hand, which started as a small papule and progressively worsened despite various treatments for suspected bacterial or fungal infections.
- - Upon examination, the lesion measured 4×7 cm and was associated with atrophic scars from previous similar lesions; laboratory tests indicated leukocytosis and altered liver function

Sweet's syndrome (SS), or acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, characteristically presents with fever, dermal neutrophilic infiltrates, and neutrophilia. It typically manifests as tender erythematous plaques; however, various variants are documented, including bullous. Malignancy-associated Sweet's syndrome (MASS) can present as a paraneoplastic syndrome in those with established cancers or with undiagnosed malignancies.

Objective: Single-organ cutaneous small-vessel vasculitis (SoCSVV) is an inflammatory skin-limited vascular disease affecting the dermal and/or hypodermal vessel wall. Pathogenetically, idiopathic forms are described, as well as the induction from different triggers, such as infections, drugs, and vaccines. Following the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic outbreak, cases of cutaneous vasculitis induced by both COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccinations have been reported in literature.
