“…1 The secondary form may arise from use of drugs like anabolic steroids. 6 It may also be associated with inflammatory or neoplastic processes that cause changes in the scalp structure such as: osteoarticular diseases (pachydermoperiostosis, acromegaly), pituitary tumors, intracerebral aneurysm, tuberous sclerosis, amyloidosis, myxedema, dermatofibroma, acanthosis nigricans, acne conglobata, cerebriform intradermal nevus, cutaneous focal mucinosis, scalp psoriasis, syphilis, diabetes mellitus type 2. It may also occur in association with various syndromes (Noonan syndrome, Beare-Stevenson syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, "Michelin tire baby" syndrome, Turner syndrome and fragile X syndrome).…”

“…This condition is commonly due to systemic disease, inflammatory dermatoses, underlying nevoid abnormalities, or trauma [2]. The condition has rarely been described in association with malignancy, and although the cause of our patient's cutis verticis gyrata is not clear, the fact that it appeared in association with this patient's endometrial carcinoma is of note.…”

Acanthosis nigricans (AN) is a dermatopathy associated with insulin-resistance, drugs, endocrine disorders, chromosomal abnormalities (benign AN), and neoplasia (malignant AN). Malignant AN (MAN) is a rare paraneoplastic skin syndrome most commonly associated with gastric adenocarcinoma and other intra-abdominal malignancies. We report the case of a 28-year-old female with AN associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and endometrial adenocarcinoma. Although rare, MAN is often an initial sign of malignancy and must trigger extensive investigation, particularly in patients with sudden development of possibly paraneoplastic dermatoses or in patients diagnosed with benign AN with any atypical features.

“…[63] Cutis verticis gyrata may occasionally occur as a paraneoplastic phenomenon. [64] Mental neuropathy (“numb chin syndrome”) may occur as a feature of metastatic disease and is considered an indicator of poor prognosis. [65] Tumors causing it include breast, thyroid, renal, lung, prostate, lymphomas, and melanoma.…”

Skin manifestations are a reflection of many of the internal diseases. Sometimes, skin disease may be the only manifestation of the internal disease. Internal malignancies may give rise to a number of cutaneous manifestations through their immunological, metabolic, and metastatic consequences. Curth proposed criteria to establish a causal relationship between a dermatosis and a malignant internal disease. Malignancy can present with a plethora of cutaneous manifestations. Here, we describe in brief about various skin manifestations of internal malignancies.
