Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Bazex syndrome, also known as paraneoplastic acrokeratosis, is a rare skin disorder.
  • It is frequently associated with underlying malignant neoplasms.

Observation:

  • A typical case of Bazex syndrome is presented.
  • The patient exhibited classical cutaneous symptoms of acrokeratosis.

Findings:

  • The paraneoplastic acrokeratosis was concurrent with a squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue.
  • Cutaneous symptoms resolved following successful treatment of the primary oral tumor.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of recognizing Bazex syndrome as a potential indicator of internal malignancy.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment of the associated neoplasm are crucial for managing Bazex syndrome.
