Skin Papillomatosis Carcinoid

Papillomatosis cutis carcinoidum, also known as rubeola cutis carcinoidea or Gottron's carcinoid papillomatosis cutis, is a rare dermatological disorder characterized by the formation of papillomas and spots on the skin. This condition is associated with carcinoid tumors, which arise from neuroendocrine cells.

Carcinoid tumors grow from cells found in various organs, such as the lungs, intestines and ovaries. However, cutaneous papillomatosis carcinoid is a rare manifestation of this type of tumor when it occurs on the surface of the skin.

With carcinoid skin papillomatosis, multiple papillomas and spots are formed, which can have different sizes and shapes. They usually have a smooth texture and can range in color from pale pink to red or brown. Papillomas can be raised above the surface of the skin or flat.

The cause of carcinoid cutaneous papillomatosis is still not fully understood. However, it is believed that this is due to hyperplasia of neuroendocrine cells in the skin, which begin to multiply uncontrollably and form papillomas. Some studies point to the possible role of genetic factors in the development of this condition.

The diagnosis of carcinoid cutaneous papillomatosis is usually based on clinical examination and biopsy of the skin lesion. A biopsy allows you to determine the presence of carcinoid cells in papillomas and exclude other possible causes of their formation.

Treatment of carcinoid skin papillomatosis is aimed at removing papillomas and eliminating symptoms. Treatment options may include surgical removal of papillomas, cryotherapy (freezing papillomas with liquid nitrogen), electrosurgery, or laser therapy.

The prognosis for patients with carcinoid cutaneous papillomatosis is usually favorable. Most papillomas can be successfully removed, and recurrences are rare. However, it is important to closely monitor the patient's condition and conduct regular follow-up examinations, since some cases of carcinoid cutaneous papillomatosis may be associated with the presence of carcinoid tumors within the body.

In conclusion, cutaneous papillomatosis carcinoid is a rare dermatological disease.

**Papillomatosis** is a benign skin tumor that occurs due to excess sebum production. Typical places of its formation are the face, scalp and neck, and interdigital spaces of the hands.
