Acrokeratosis Paraneoplastica Bazex

Acrokeratosis paraneoplastica (Bazex syndrome) is a rare paraneoplastic dermatosis associated with internal malignancies. Clinical presentation is characterized by erythematous or violaceous scaly plaques involving the digits, nose, ears, palms, and soles. Nail changes commonly present concurrently with cutaneous manifestations. In this review, we characterize nail changes associated with acrokeratosis paraneoplastica. A total of 48 cases were analyzed. Nail findings were nonspecific, with the most common being nail plate thickening, onycholysis, subungual hyperkeratosis, longitudinal ridging, discoloration, and nail plate loss. In most patients, nail changes involved the majority of fingernails and toenails and most often appeared prior to the diagnosis of malignancy. The most common associated underlying malignancies were squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck. A diagnosis of acrokeratosis paraneoplastica should be considered in patients with onychodystrophy involving multiple nails with accompanying atypical psoriasiform dermatoses. Screening for internal malignancies may significantly decrease morbidity and mortality for these patients.

Histopathologic Analysis

Some skin lesions may accompany malignancies. Acanthosis nigricans, one such lesion, is a paraneoplastic dermatosis characterized by hyperpigmented and velvety verrucose plaques observed as symetric eruptions. With this report, we aim to present a rare case of concomitant lung cancer and acanthosis nigricans. Malignant acanthosis nigricans is most commonly associated with intra-abdominal malignancies. A 65-year-old patient who had hyperpigmented, hypertrophic and symmetric verrucose lesions at the flexor surfaces of the lower and upper extremities, face, palms and the axillary region. Thoracic computed tomography demonstrated a hypodense mass lesion with a dimension of  cm at the center of basal segment bronchi of the left pulmonary lobe. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy showed that the access to the lower left lobe was almost completely obstructed by the endobronchial lesion. The result of the histopathologic examination of the endobronchial tissue biopsy was reported as non-small cell (adenocarcinoma) lung cancer. Result of the histopathologic analysis of the punch biopsy of the skin lesions was reported as acanthosis nigricans .There are no pathognomonic dermatological findings for lung cancer. In conclusion, there are skin lesions that accompany lung cancer and we believe that these should be considered for differential diagnosis.

AbstractPustular psoriasis is an uncommon form of psoriasis consisting of widespread pustules on an erythematous background. Very rarely pustular psoriasis represent a paraneoplastic dermatosis. In this report we describe a case of generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) associated with advanced, inoperable, metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the hypopharynx. We suggest that physicians should be alert for the worsening of existing psoriasis or formation of novel psoriasiform eruptions and should undertake clinical evaluation of possible neoplastic disease.
