Abstract

ABSTRACT

This article should alert radiologists to be on the lookout for clues in the clinical history for signs of joint disease or other multisystem involvement in patients with a skin disease. A skin rash may be the first indication of a serious disease that prompts a patient to seek medical attention. In this review, examples of joint-skin associations are shown, and a table is presented that includes a comprehensive list of these conditions. The classification system is partly anatomic and partly etiologic, including diseases of the epidermis, dermis, sebaceous glands and sweat glands, tumors, immunologic and collagen vascular diseases, infections, and environmental diseases.

KEYWORDS

Skin disorders - joint disorders - arthritis - rash - dermatologic conditions
