Abstract: | The bowel-associated dermatosis-arthritis syndrome (BADAS), originally called the bowel bypass syndrome, and described after jejuno-ileal bypass, has subsequently been reported in association with inflammatory bowel disease and after gastric resection. BADAS has not been reported after biliopancreatic diversion (BPD). This case report describes a 47-year-old female who presented with recurrent skin rashes and arthralgia after a BPD, consistent with a clinical diagnosis of BADAS which was confirmed by skin biopsy. To date, she has been managed with cyclical courses of antibiotics without reversal of her surgery.This syndrome may be under-diagnosed and is a condition with which bariatric surgeons should be familiar. |
