Sir, Paraneoplastic syndromes are contemporaneous with various malignant tumors. Leser–Trélat syndrome is a paraneoplastic syndrome associated with certain cancers, notably, breast, lung, kidney, hepato-digestive, melanoma, and lymphoma [1]. The pathogenesis of Leser–Trélat syndrome remains unknown. Exceptional observations associate Leser–Trélat with bladder carcinoma [2]. Herein, we report Leser–Trélat syndrome in a 75-year-old black patient with bladder carcinoma. The aim of this work is to report an unusual association. The patient was a 75-year-old male, a non-smoker, with no previous history, admitted to the urology department of the Brazzaville Hospital for bladder carcinoma. The tumor suspected on ultrasound was documented by anatomopathological examination. The incidental discovery of a rash of diffuse pigmented papules located preferentially on the trunk, consisting of lesions of variable size, measuring from 3 to 1 cm, with a soft or firm consistency and irregular surface (Fig. 1). These lesions were suggestive of seborrheic keratoses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
