Pityriasis rubra pilaris in association with laryngeal carcinoma
Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is a rare group of hyperkeratotic, papulosquamous diseases that can be acquired or inherited. Cases of PRP associated with malignancy have been rarely reported. We report a case of 46-year-old man who presented with rapidly progressing PRP as a possible initial cutaneous symptom of a previously undiagnosed laryngeal carcinoma. Microlaryngoscopy was performed because of the patient’ s hoarseness, and this revealed leucoplakia on the left vocal cord. Histopathological examination led to the diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma in situ. After surgical treatment, the clinical signs of PRP began to resolve, and the patient was free of skin lesions at follow-up. This case represents a rare coexistence of PRP with malignancy, and indicates that PRP can occur as paraneoplastic dermatosis associated with laryngeal cancer.
