Abstract
|
|
|
Reiter's syndrome is an unusual disease characterized as a triad of nongonococcal urethritis, conjunctivitis, and arthritis in association with the mucocutaneous lesions of keratoderma blenorrhagica and balanitis circinata.
We present herein a case of Reiter's syndome combined with lung cancer. A 39-year-old man has experienced migrating polyarthralgia and high fever intermittently for about 20 years. Hyperkeratotic erythematous patches and plaques, which developed
about 1
year ago, have aggra vated and expanded to the whole body.
Histopathologic sections from the plaque on the right forearm showed characteristic findings in cluding thickened parakeratotic horny layer and spongiform macropustules of Kogoj. He was associated with HLA-B27. On the chest X-ray, a thumb-tip
sized
mass
was incidently found. Chest CT and bone scan findings supported lung cancer and multiple metastases.
