Ganglioneuromas are rare tumors in the neuroblastoma group. Paraneoplastic syndrome (PNS) due to presacral ganglioneuromas was hardly reported in previous literature. Here, we reported that a case of a 5-year-old girl with a presacral ganglioneuroma presented with PNS, who presented with
Neoplastic fever, a paraneoplastic syndrome caused by cancer itself, represents a diagnostic challenge for the clinician and is an important issue in supportive oncology. Timely recognition of this febrile condition by differentiating it from other cancer-associated fevers, such as infection and
Pheochromocytoma can cause several paraneoplastic syndromes. We report a patient with pheochromocytoma who exhibited pyrexia and marked inflammatory signs along with an elevated serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) level. All of these abnormalities disappeared and serum IL-6 became undetectable by removal of
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this study was to present a case of paraneoplastic systemic hypertension and fever in an undiagnosed primary ciliary body carcinoma arising in a painful blind eye.
METHODS
A 37-year-old white man with a history of blindness since childhood was enucleated for neovascular
A 55-year-old man was admitted for evaluation of chronic abdominal pain and fever. Computed tomography demonstrated a retroperitoneal inflammatory process involving the mesenteric root. Adipose tissue biopsy showed panniculitis mesenterica with granulomas. Further examinations confirmed the
A 23-year-old man, with no relevant medical history, presented with inflammatory peripheral and axial polyarthritis, wrist pain, and persistent low-grade fever for the past 4 months. A bone scintigraphy showed intense periosteal early and delayed uptake in long bones, with normal uptake in the
BACKGROUND
Fever can be the presenting symptom of metastatic breast carcinoma, but the combination of fever, polyarthritis, and an erythematous rash as a paraneoplastic syndrome in breast carcinoma is very rare.
METHODS
The clinical course of a 49-year-old female with a history of ductal breast
From 1982 through 1996, 67 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) proven to have tumor fever (TF) were analyzed. All were in metastatic stage when TF occurred. Forty-five patients (67%) had recurrent disease. Thirty-eight (57%) had fever before metastatic lesions were detected. The metastatic
Renal cell carcinoma is unique among the genitourinary malignancies in that close to one third of affected patients show signs and symptoms of a paraneoplastic syndrome. The paraneoplastic syndromes associated with renal cell carcinoma range from those manifesting in constitutional symptoms (ie,
BACKGROUND
To investigate the clinical characteristics and diagnosis of lung cancer with paraneoplastic syndrome as initial symptom.
METHODS
The clinical data of 168 cases of lung cancer with paraneoplastic syndrome as initial symptom were analysed from Jan. 1990, to Nov. 2002, in the
Chronic basophilic leukemia (CBL) is an extremely rare disorder. A female patient presented with recurrent attacks of chills, fever and abdominal pain was found to have simultaneous cyclic oscillation in leukocyte counts and C-reactive protein values. She was initially diagnosed with familial
The presence of fever in malignancy usually indicates infection, though transfusion, thrombosis and drugs are also culprits. However, particularly in some tumour types, fever can also be a paraneoplastic syndrome, caused by the malignancy itself. This can be a difficult diagnosis to establish and
OBJECTIVE
We sought to determine the frequency of interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression in renal cancer cell lines, the frequency of the detection of IL-6 in the serum of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma, whether serum IL-6 level correlates with the development of paraneoplastic syndromes and
