  • Title: Pincer nails and alopecia as markers of gastrointestinal malignancy.
    Author: Jemec GB, Thomsen K.
    Journal: J Dermatol; 1997 Jul; 24(7):479-81. PubMed ID: 9267110.
    Abstract:
    Nail abnormalities may be markers of non-dermatologic disease. We present a case in which pronounced pincer nails and universal alopecia developed in association with a metastasising adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon. It is suggested that this association represents a new ectodermal paraneoplastic syndrome.
