Abstract

Acrodermatitis paraneoplastica is a rare paraneoplastic entity that has been associated with multiple neoplasms, most commonly squamous cell carcinoma of the aerodigestive tract. Therapies have focused on treatment of the underlying carcinoma. We report a case of acrodermatitis paraneoplastica successfully treated with PUVA therapy.
