  • Title: Lichen planus and carcinoid tumour.
    Author: Gibson GE, Murphy GM.
    Journal: Clin Exp Dermatol; 1997 Jul; 22(4):180-2. PubMed ID: 9499608.
    Abstract:
    Lichen planus is not usually associated with malignancy and an association with carcinoid tumour has not been previously described. We now describe a patient in whom lichen planus and a carcinoid tumour presented simultaneously. In this case report, gastrointestinal symptoms of a small intestinal carcinoid tumour coincided with the appearance of a rash which progressed from a generalized exfoliative dermatitis to extensive lichen planus.
