Abstract

Acrokeratosis paraneoplastica of Bazex is a rare syndrome. This condition is a distinct skin marker of supra-diaphragmatic neoplasia. This syndrome is important because the cutaneous findings preceed the onset of symptoms referable to the underlying neoplasm by several months in majority of the cases. We report here a case of a 63-year-old cachectic female who had classic psoriasiform lesions of acrokeratosis of Bazex with underlying bronchogenic carcinoma of the right lung.
