Bazex syndrome related to oropharyngeal carcinoma. Case report
Abstract Introduction and objective: Bazex syndrome is an infrequent paraneoplastic syndrome that is related to an upper aerodigestive epidermoid carcinoma. A case of characteristic Bazex syndrome is presented to contribute to an early diagnosis of the associated underlying tumor pathology. Case description: 57-year-old male, smoker and regular drinker, presented with a cervical mass associated with scaly and violaceous eczema on hands, feet, ears and knees. After examination and complementary tests, the diagnosis of T2N3M0 tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma and paraneoplastic syndrome was established. Conclusions: Oropharyngeal carcinoma is one of the most frequent tumors associated with Bazex syndrome. Therefore, if we observe these skin lesions, we should always rule out oncological pathology at that level.
