Abstract

We present a case in which a patient presented with widespread cutaneous warty lesions misdiagnosed as warts 3 months before the diagnosis of his advanced gastric adenocarcinoma. Florid cutaneous and mucosal papillomatosis is a paraneoplastic dermatosis, following a parallel course with the underlying malignancy, which is most often gastric adenocarcinoma.
