Paraneoplastic Skin Conditions, Part 2

As part of our commitment to resident education, Cutis is excited to offer this new monthly section with board-relevant, easy-to-review material. Each month this section will focus on the key facts of commonly tested topics. It will be a resource for review while on the go, for group study, or for last-minute preparation. This section is not meant to be comprehensive but rather a supplement to other study materials.

Clinically important and boards relevant, the paraneoplastic conditions should not be forgotten. As a subset of cutaneous manifestations of systemic disease, these entities may be the presenting signs or symptoms of a more serious diagnosis. This month’s Fast Facts for Board Review is the second and final part in the series reviewing paraneoplastic skin conditions.
