Abstract: Paraneoplastic syndroma are rare disorders that are triggered by an altered immune system response to a neoplasm. They are defined as clinical syndromes involving nonmetastatic systemic effects that accompany malignant disease. Paraneoplastic dermatoses are heterogeneous group of clinical manifestations that often appear benign. They represent the 2nd most common paraneoplastic site (the 1st endocrine syndromes). They commonly precede or follow visceral cancer. Recognition may result in earlier diagnosis and better prognosis. We report two cases of paraneoplastic dermatosis that are rarely associated with breast cancer.
