“…[6] We found Bazex syndrome in two patients with primary tumor of stomach and colon, this association has also been reported in the literature. [17][18] Skin lesions of Bazex usually precede the diagnosis of primary tumor in 65-70%, follow the diagnosis in 10-15% and have concurrent onset in 15-25% of cases. [19] In our study one (50%) patient developed skin lesions seven months prior to the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma stomach, while another patient (50%) had concurrent onset.…”

Bazex syndrome is a rare paraneoplastic dermatosis. The underlying malignancy frequently is squamous cell carcinoma of the upper aerodigestive tract or cervical lymph nodes from an unknown primary site. We report a 63-year-old man with squamous cell carcinoma of cervical lymph nodes from an unknown primary site. He developed a mass on the right side of his neck, cutaneous lesions diagnosed as Bazex syndrome, hypoalbuminemia, and severe ascites. Right neck dissection was performed. After neck dissection, not only the cutaneous lesions, but also the severe hypoalbuminemia and severe ascites were improved. Bazex syndrome may be associated with hypoalbuminemia and ascites.

“…But we also found some cases of gastric cancer who hasn't had any of these common symptoms of gastric cancer. Those non-specific manifestations or paraneoplastic presentation were varied a lot in gastric cancer, including dermatitis [1,2], polyarthritis [3], neuropathy [4], or kidney problems and so on. Doctors should pay more attention to those patients who couldn't get any effect from the treatments to their initial manifestations.…”

Gastric cancer has varied clinical manifestations, sometimes the symptoms seem to be nothing related to the gastrointestinal diseases, which makes it difficult for doctors to come to the correct diagnosis of gastric cancer in those patients. We report a case of polymyalgia Rheumatica and intermittent asthma attack presenting as the initial symptoms of gastric cancer. A 51-year-old female visited our hospital with complaint of multi-point pain of her body for three months, accompanied with asthma-like attack and abdominal mass for 2 weeks. All the results of rheumatoid factor and antinuclear factor were negative. She didn't get any benefit from the treatment of prednisone, MTX and folic acid. Then upper gastrointestinal(GI) endoscopy demonstrated a gastric cancer. The patient underwent radical gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection and complex of intestinal adhesion release, her polymyalgia Rheumatica and asthma-like attack were relieved 1 week later, she gained weight and received chemotherapy. Followed up 6 years by for now, she was found going well without any evidence of recurrence of cancer or any episode of flareup of polymyalgia Rheumatica or asthma. This indicates that when doctors met patients whose clinical manifestations were shown as refractory ones, the underlying cancer should be under consideration.
