The Bazex syndrome is a very infrequent paraneoplastic dermatosis, characterized by the appearance of psoriasiform acral hyperkeratosis that is mainly related to epidermoid carcinomas of upper aero-digestive tract. Between 60-70%(1) of the diagnosis precedes the associated tumor. We describe two clinical cases representing the typical characteristics of this pathology in order to explain and highlight the importance of its early recognition, which facilitates rapid identification of the tumor, thus increasing survival.
