Bazex Syndrome Associated with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Lip: A Rare Paraneoplastic Acrokeratosis with Nail Dystrophy

Conclusions: In 70% cases of APB, nail changes precede the diagnosis of the underlying neoplasm by up to 10 months, offering a good lead-time for early suspicion of malignancy. Our case highlights the importance of recognizing these changes early. An atypical location of malignancy (lower lip) and rare presentations, including painful acrokeratosis, melanonychia striata, and chloronychia, as seen in our case, should also be kept in mind.Skin Appendage Disord
