Area of Science:

Dermatology
Oncology
Paraneoplastic Syndromes

Background:

Bazex syndrome (BS) is a rare paraneoplastic disorder.
It is typically linked to squamous cell carcinomas, particularly in the upper aerodigestive tract.
Cutaneous manifestations of BS often precede the identification of an underlying malignancy.

Observation:

A 72-year-old male presented with a year-long history of acral dermatitis.
The patient exhibited psoriasiform acral dermatitis, a hallmark of Bazex syndrome.
Simultaneously, two distinct tumors were diagnosed: prostate adenocarcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma of the submandibular gland.

Findings:

The clinical presentation and diagnostic criteria confirmed Bazex syndrome in this patient.
The presence of psoriasiform acral dermatitis served as an early indicator.
The co-occurrence of prostate and submandibular gland carcinomas was noted.

Implications:

This case underscores the importance of recognizing Bazex syndrome's cutaneous signs.
Early identification of BS can lead to the timely diagnosis of associated neoplasms.
Dermatologists and oncologists should consider BS in patients with characteristic skin findings and potential underlying cancers.
