(derm) the skin in systemic disease Flashcards

1
Q

why is the skin important in systemic disease?

A

recognition of skin signs can lead to diagnosis of underlying systemic disease

  • allows recognition of internal malignancy
  • prevents or reduced internal organ damage when diagnosed early

Q

what are three ways in which the skin can indicate systemic disease?

A

1) skin can be targeted in a multi-organs systemic disease (e.g. sarcoidosis)
2) tell-tale skin signs can indicate internal disorder (flushing in Carcinoid syndrome, pyoderma gangrenosum in IBD)
3) systemic disease secondary to skin disorder (e.g. cardiac failure due to erythroderma)
