Acrokeratosis paraneoplastica (Bazex syndrome) with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

A 65-year-old white man presented with all the clinical features of acrokeratosis paraneoplastica of Bazex, characterized by violaceous erythema and scaling of the nose, aural helices, fingers, and toes, with keratoderma and severe nail dystrophy. Examination of the patient for possible associated malignancy disclosed an asymptomatic squamous cell carcinoma at the oropharyngeal region. The skin lesions resolved almost completely following radiation therapy of the neoplasm, but the onychodystrophy persisted. This case report illustrates the importance of early recognition of Bazex syndrome.

Dentinogenesis imperfecta: a case report.

Dentinogenesis imperfecta is a localized form of mesodermal dysplasia of the dentin affecting both the primary and permanent dentitions. Most previous reports on dentinogenesis imperfecta describe treatment with overdentures, which have several disadvantages. The present report describes a case of dentinogenesis imperfecta in an 11-year-old girl. A combination of restorative, prosthetic, and surgical treatment was used to resolve the condition.
