Article Synopsis
  • Annular and acral/facial dyskeratotic paraneoplastic disorders are skin conditions linked to distant cancers but aren't direct extensions or forms of these cancers.
  • The four main types include two gyrate conditions (erythema annulare centrifugum and erythema gyratum repens) and two acral/facial conditions (acrokeratosis paraneoplastic or Bazex syndrome, and tripe palms).
  • These skin disorders can appear in various forms, might be associated with different causes, and require careful diagnosis to distinguish them from other diseases.
