The skin is is one of the most accesible organs, so it should never be overlooked in systemic disease. Skin often reflects internal processes, and the awareness of this leads us to consider malignancy as a potencial cause for many cutaneous abnormalities.

Examination of the skin has the advantage of revealing important information about the patient's condition without requiring the use of invasive techniques.
