Current Opinion in Neurology, 1991
Most nervous system paraneoplastic syndromes probably result from an immune attack against antigens normally expressed only in the nervous system but aberrantly expressed in a cancer. Specific antibodies in serum and cerebrospinal fluid that react with the nervous system and the cancer can be used to characterize proteins usually restricted to the ...

Paraneoplastic pemphigus is a newly recognized disease that occurs in some patients with lymphoproliferative neoplasms and occasionally, solid tumors. Patients present with an acute illness of the mucosa and skin that shares clinical and histologic features with erythema multiforme, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and pemphigus vulgaris.

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2009
It has been recognized for some time now, that compared with the normal population, patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) live with an increased risk of developing malignancy. In the majority of these patients, cancer-associated myositis appears to have some paraneoplastic features. The aim of the present review is to describe new data

Summary A paraneoplastic syndrome is a disease or symptom that is a consequence of the presence of neoplasia, but is not due to the local presence of neoplastic cells. The pathophysiology of paraneoplastic syndromes is complex. Paraneoplastic syndromes may precede the detection of an active malignancy, and thorough investigation is ...

Epilepsy & Behavior, 2016
Epilepsy can be a manifestation of paraneoplastic syndromes which are the consequence of an immune reaction to neuronal elements driven by an underlying malignancy affecting other organs and tissues. The antibodies commonly found in paraneoplastic encephalitis can be divided into two main groups depending on the target antigen: 1) antibodies against ...

Medical Hypotheses, 1990
A given cancer is a disease which combines a paraneoplastic syndrome with an invasive tumour capable of giving rise to metastases. Surgeons, radiotherapists, medical oncologists and experimental scientists are primarily interested in the tumour.

Paraneoplastic pemphigus is a rare but severe autoimmune disease characterized by severe stomatitis and a variety of cutaneous manifestations in association with an underlying neoplasia. Pulmonary involvement may also occur. The pathogenesis involves the production of autoantibodies against desmogleins, plakins, and the protease inhibitor alpha-2 ...

This article provides an approach to the recognition and management of paraneoplastic neuropathies.Paraneoplastic neuropathies may have unique phenotypic presentations, such as sensory neuronopathy, autonomic enteric neuropathy, demyelinating neuropathy, and, rarely, motor neuropathy.

Skin manifestations of systemic disease and malignancy are protean. The recognition of a potentially paraneoplastic dermatosis as such must prompt an investigation for occult malignancy. Lack of familiarity with cutaneous clues of internal malignancy may delay diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Paraneoplastic hyperthyroidism
BMJ case reports, 2011The authors describe a 31-year-old male with a metastatic germ cell tumour and massively elevated human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) levels who presented with hyperthyroidism. As HCG is structurally closely related to thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), it can activate the TSH receptor; grossly elevated levels may result in hyperthyroidism.
