Abstract
The skin is a well-known reflection of internal disease states. It provides the astute clinician with clues that lead to the diagnosis of systemic illness. While skin disease is rarely life-threatening, serious morbidity and mortality may be avoided by early recognition of subtle cutaneous signs signaling internal problems. The recent literature was reviewed to glean new findings that either added new associations to older syndromes or described completely new diseases. While entire books are written regarding the “Skin Signs of Internal Disease”, this article focuses only on the newest of such findings.
