Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer – A Case of the Bazex

Bazex syndrome is a rare form of paraneoplastic syndrome, rarely identified as an underlying cancer at presentation. Predominately found in upper aero-digestive cancers and squamous cell lung carcinomas. Plaques on acral surfaces are common, described as psoriatic, often resolve after underlying anti-cancer therapy. This case presents a 76-year-old male with squamous cell non-small cell lung cancer suffering psoriatic lesions which respond chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
