Two new cancer locations accompanied with palmar fasciitis and polyarthritis

Rev Rhum Engl Ed. 1998 Mar;65(3):212-4.

Abstract

Only 35 cases of cancer with palmar fasciitis and polyarthritis have been published to date. We report two new cases, one with a transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis and the other with an adenocarcinoma of the uterus. Neither of these locations has been reported in association with palmar fasciitis and polyarthritis. Palmar fasciitis with polyarthritis can occur in a wide range of cancers and warrants extensive investigations for a malignant tumor.
