Article information

Bazex syndrome, or paraneoplastic acrokeratosis, is a rare psoriasis-like paraneoplastic skin disease, characterized by erythema and scaling, which is accompanied by hyperkeratotic lesions. The tumors most frequently associated with Bazex syndrome are squamous cell carcinomas of the upper respiratory and digestive tracts, whereas lung cancers, particularly adenocarcinomas, are rarely associated. We present a case in which both pulmonary adenocarcinoma and Bazex syndrome were present.

Key words:
Pulmonary adenocarcinoma
Paraneoplastic acrokeratosis
Bazex syndrome

EI síndrome de Bazex o acroqueratosis paraneoplásica esuna rara afectaciónparaneoplásica cutánea, psoriasiforme yerite matodescamativa, que se acompaña de lesiones hiperqueratósicas. Los tumores más frecuentemente asociados aeste sísicas. Los tumores más frecuentemente asociados aeste síendrome son los epidermoides del tracto aereodigestivo superior. Los carcinomas de pulmón, y concretamente los de estirpe adenocarcinoma, se asocian raramente a este síndrome. Presentamos un caso en el que se describen ambas entidades.
