Radiologic search for tumors in skin changes. Paraneoplastic syndromes and hereditary diseases with increased risk of tumors

Cutaneous paraneoplastic syndromes and inherited skin diseases that are known to have an increased tumor risk can be diagnosed by a physician with knowledge of their distinct clinical features. Cutaneous paraneoplastic syndromes are regarded as caused by tumor-cell products and should disappear after sufficient tumor treatment. The risk of malignancy varies in different inherited syndromes, but knowledge of the cutaneous symptoms in these diseases facilitates appropriate diagnostic procedures.
