Skin signs in pulmonary disease

Clin Chest Med. 1987 Jun;8(2):299-311.

Abstract

We have described many of the cutaneous findings that can be associated with pulmonary disease. Some, such as the vascular reaction patterns, are quite common. Others, particularly those related to the genetic disorders are rather seldom seen. Our intent, however, is to show how recognition of cutaneous markers can assist the internist in caring for their patients with pulmonary disease.
