• psoriasis [?% | 1:40 | weight: ?]
• bullous pemphigoid [?% | 1:40K | weight: ?]
• exfoliative dermatitis [?% | 1:100K | weight: ?]

Quick summary:
Approximately 90% of cases of tripe palms are associated with internal malignancy, usually with cancer involved; in cancer patients with tripe palms alone, the most common underlying neoplasm was pulmonary carcinoma (53% of cases), whereas patients with both tripe palms and acanthosis nigricans frequently had gastric (35% of cases) or pulmonary (11% of cases) carcinomas.
[In every 100 tripe palms case in the general population (GP) you can expect to find about
83 cases with lung- or gastric cancer, etc.]
