Skin changes associated with internal malignancies can be classified into five groups: 1) cutaneous metastasis from internal malignancies, 2) non-specific reactional skin changes caused by toxic or allergic processes due to these malignancies, including pruritus cutaneous, urticaria and so on, 3) specific skin changes or diseases closely related to the malignancies, including acanthosis nigricans, dermatomyositis, Leser- Trelat syndrome, 4) the syndrome caused by simultaneous effects of oncogenesis both on the skin and on the internal organs, including multiple Bowen's disease, and 5) congenital hereditary syndrome, including Gardner syndrome, Torre syndrome.
