Melanoma, a malignant skin neoplasm originating from melanocytes, has been associated with various paraneoplastic syndromes. This paper provides an overview of the key paraneoplastic syndromes observed in patients with melanoma. Paraneoplastic syndromes in melanoma can manifest with neurological, dermatological, endocrine, haematological, and rheumatological symptoms, among others. Melanoma-associated retinopathy was the most reported paraneoplastic syndrome; this entity is characterized by a spectrum of retinal abnormalities. Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes, such as paraneoplastic encephalitis and paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration, are among the most frequently reported. The pathophysiology of paraneoplastic syndromes often involves the production of autoantibodies against neuronal or tumour antigens, immune-mediated reactions, or the release of cytokines and growth factors from the tumour. Management strategies for paraneoplastic syndromes associated with melanoma primarily focus on treating the underlying malignancy, which may lead to resolution or improvement of the paraneoplastic manifestations. Immune-modulating therapies, including corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulins, and plasmapheresis, may be considered in selected cases to ameliorate symptoms and suppress the autoimmune response. In conclusion, paraneoplastic syndromes in patients with melanoma are a complex and diverse group of clinical entities with a broad range of presentations. Further research is needed to enhance our understanding of the mechanisms and therapeutic options for paraneoplastic syndromes associated with melanoma.</p>","PeriodicalId":54595,"journal":{"name":"Postepy Dermatologii I Alergologii","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11253314/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141725061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We collected relevant demographic data and clinical features of all patients diagnosed with psoriasis from January 2013 to September 2023.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>This study ultimately included a total of 1097 patients with psoriasis. Psoriasis vulgaris was the most common among the subtypes of psoriasis, with 957 (87.2%) cases. The sample consisted of 65.6% of males and 34.4% of females, with an average age of 53.5 ±15.2 years. Common comorbidities of psoriasis included hypertension (38.2%), hyperlipidaemia (29.4%), type 2 diabetes mellitus (24.6%), fatty liver disease (21.4%), coronary heart disease (21.0%), tumours (15.5%), gastroduodenal disease (14.4%), osteoarthropathy (11.8%), and cerebrovascular disease (10.8%). The incidence of hypertension (<i>p</i> = 0.015), hyperuricemia (<i>p</i> < 0.001), osteoarthropathy (<i>p</i> < 0.001), and autoimmune disease (<i>p</i> = 0.003) among different subtypes of psoriasis showed statistically significant differences. In addition, gender, smoking and alcohol consumption all have significant impacts on the distribution of comorbidities.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The distribution of psoriasis comorbidities and complications varies among different subtypes of psoriasis. Lifestyles such as smoking and alcohol abuse, as well as gender, are also associated with the occurrence of psoriasis comorbidities.</p>","PeriodicalId":54595,"journal":{"name":"Postepy Dermatologii I Alergologii","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11110224/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141088787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
