Florid cutaneous papillomatosis (also known as Schwartz-Burgess syndrome^[1] and FCP^[2]) is the sudden onset of numerous cutaneous papillomas that are indistinguishable from viral warts, and associated with underlying malignancy.^[1]^[3]^:63

[edit] History

It was discovered by Robert A. Schwartz MD and Gordon H. Burgess MD. The original description was published in the Archives of Dermatology,^[4] which is published by American Medical Association.

[edit] Presentation

Florid cutaneous papillomatosis presents with verrucous papulonodules resembling viral warts.^[1] These skin lesions develop on the trunk, extremities, and face^[3]^:63, and are almost twice as common in men than in women, especially individuals aged 53-72 years.^[3]^:66 This papillomatosis may also present with other cutaneous signs of internal malignancy, such as acanthosis nigricans type I and Leser-Trélat.^[3]^:66

[edit] Etiology

Florid cutaneous papillomatosis is associated with underlying malignancy, most often gastric adenocarcinoma^[5]^[3]^:63 but also with breast cancer, bladder cancer, hepatobiliary cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer,^[6] prostate cancer^{[citation needed]}, and lung cancer^[7]; however, the cause of FCP is currently not known.^[1]
