An association between venous thrombosis and malignancy was first suggested
in 1865 by Trousseau.
Unexplained deep venous thrombosis, followed a year later by the development
of gastric carcinoma
In one review of patients with Trousseau's syndrome, the following associated
tumors were seen :
Pancreas — 24 percent
Lung — 20 percent
Prostate — 13 percent
Stomach — 12 percent
Acute leukemia — 9 percent
Colon — 5 percent
Common in mucin secreting adenocarcinoma.

Transient weeping eczematous or psoriasiform eruption

70 percent of patients with glucagon-secreting pancreatic islet cell tumors.

Less frequently it has been seen with no glucagon-producing tumor, a condition
termed pseudoglucagonoma syndrome.

Reported associations include celiac disease (from malabsorption), cirrhosis of
the liver, inflammatory bowel disease, and various extrapancreatic malignancies,
such as hepatocellular, lung, and duodenal cancer, and tumors that secret insulin
or insulin-like growth factor II .
