Tripe palms
Introduction
Overview
Overview
Tripe palms are a cutaneous condition characterized by ridged velvety lesions on the palms.[1] Tripe palms is a paraneoplastic syndrome that occurs in some cases of cancer, such as small cell lung cancer.[1] Tripe palms can occur either alone or with acanthosis nigricans.[2] Patients who have tripe palms must undergo a complete workup for malignancy, particularly stomach cancer and lung cancer.[2]
