Abstract
In this work we will discuss three cutaneous markers of systemic disease. A canthosis nigricans is the most widely known in this category. Cutaneous an giokeratomas are usually associated with enzyme defect disorders, such as F abry's disease, and are linked in this work as a reactive pattern in hepato renal failure. Mast cell disease may occur in a number of forms, often with systemic involvement.
