- Baboon syndrome is a type IV hypersensitivity reaction characterized by a maculopapular rash, and this case presents the first instance of it being linked to Tamoxifen, a medication commonly used for breast cancer treatment.
- A 44-year-old woman experienced a papulovesicular rash after eight years of Tamoxifen use, prompting urgent skin biopsies that ultimately confirmed the diagnosis of baboon syndrome.

Background: AA is an acquired dermatosis distributed universally, with multifactorial etiology. It affects the hair follicle with or without nail involvement, resulting in an acute nonscarring alopecia with a relapsing course.
