AB Internal  malignancies  can  result  in  cutaneous  paraneoplastic  syndromes  that  may  precede  the  diagnosis  of  the  malignancy  or  herald  a  relapse.  Awareness  of  these  paraneoplastic  syndromes  can  result  in  earlier  diagnosis  of  internal  malignancy.  As  discussed  in  this  chapter,  people  with  skin  of  color  present  later  to  the  healthcare  system  with  internal  malignancies  and  therefore  have  a  poorer  prognosis.1  Based  on  data  in  the  United  States,  this  chapter  will  cover  the  epidemiology  of  malignancy  by  race  and  ethnicity,  as  well  as  characteristics  of  paraneoplastic  dermatoses.
