Description

Multiple basal cell carcinomas developed predominantly on the sun exposed areas in a 52-year-old Japanese man. He also had follicular atrophoderma on the extensor aspect of the extremities. Five other siblings were free from symptoms, but his mother suffered from follicular atrophoderma. These findings were consistent with the syndrome described by Bazex et al. However, because the patient lacked other cardinal skin synptoms such as abnormalities of scalp hair and sweating, a diagnosis of an abortive form of Bazex syndrome was made. Numerous basal cell carcinomas were also observed on the trunk, a non-exposed area, previously irradiated with X-rays. We would like to emphasize that radiation therapy should be avoided in patients with Bazex syndrome. Here we report the first case of this rare inherited syndrome in Japan.
