An observational study of cutaneous manifestations in internal malignancy at tertiary care centre

Skin is the largest organ in the human body and mirrors the changes in the organism it envelops. Internal malignancies can cause various specific and non-specific cutaneous manifestations along with hair, nail and oral mucosal changes. Some of the changes are detected early indicating a strong association with cancer, while some occur in later stage indicating dissemination or immunosuppression. The present study is an effort to know pattern of dermatosis associated with internal malignancies so that early diagnosis and interventions can be done.
