| description | Skin diseases can be a first sign of internal malignancies. Acrokeratosis neoplastica or Bazex-syndrome is a rare obligatory paraneoplastic dermatosis. We report on a 51-year-old male patient who complaint about reduced physical working capacity, swelling of fingers and toes. He presented with non-itching violaceous erythemato-squamous lesions on nose, hands and feet. On examination we observed onychomadesis of finger nails. Thoracic computerized tomography disclosed a tumor mass in the distal esophagus. Endosonography with trans-esophageal fine-needle biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The knowledge of cutaneous paraneoplasias allows an earlier diagnosis of internal malignancies. |
