Abstract
Tripe palms is a cutaneous paraneoplastic syndrome. We report a case o f tripe palms in a 71-year-old man with non-small cell lung cancer. Ap proximately 90% of patients with tripe palms have an associated cancer , most commonly involving the lung or the stomach. Any patient with tr ipe palms must have a complete cancer workup, especially for lung and stomach cancer.
