Abstract

We report a 66-year-old male presenting with malaise, heartburn and pruritic seborrheic keratoses in both feet of sudden onset, suggesting a Leser-Trélat sign. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy disclosed a gastric cancer. The patient was subjected to a total gastrectomy and during follow up, the skin lesions had disappeared.
