Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children. Diarrheal NB is quite rare and is not easy to diagnose in the early stage. Six cases of diarrheal NB in our hospital treated from 1996 to 2006 were retrospectively analyzed, including characteristics such as electrolyte
The presence of rare paraneoplastic syndromes, the opsoclonus-myoclonus-ataxia syndrome (OMA), presumably caused by antineuronal antibody production, and diarrhea, caused by vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) secreted by neuroblastoma, may strongly signal the presence of neuroblastoma. The authors
BACKGROUND
Clinical presentations of paraneoplastic syndromes in neuroblastoma may multiply. Review of the clinical data and the literature on this syndrome may help in the diagnosis of neuroblastoma.
OBJECTIVE
In order to make more accurate diagnosis, we reviewed the clinical data and the
We report the case of a 57-year-old man presenting with chronic diarrhea for more than three months and a solitary pulmonary nodule of the right upper lobe. After atypical resection, showing a clinical stage I small cell lung cancer (SCLC), a lobectomy combined with a systematic mediastinal
OBJECTIVE
Celiac disease is characterized by gluten intolerance and commonly manifests with unexplained diarrhea, abdominal distention and weight loss. Infrequently, patients present with vague, non-specific symptoms which often delay diagnosis and treatment.
METHODS
A 52-year-old female with a

presentation of the uncommon paraneoplastic syndromes related to the gastrointestinal tract that may occur in children with neuroblastic tumors and their impact on the disease course.

Retrospective analysis of three cases of patients mainly with digestive tract-related
Neuroblastoma is infrequently associated with paraneoplastic syndromes. Amongst the few, opsomyoclonus (Kinsbourne syndrome) is the most common neurological paraneoplastic syndrome and diarrhea secondary to increased secretion of vasoactive intestinal peptide (Kerner-Morrison syndrome), hormonal
Paraneoplastic syndromes are frequently associated with various types of malignant tumors but are fairly rare in the course of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We describe the clinical case of a 76 year old man with chronic hepatitis C infection related to liver disease who had suffered for several
The anti-Hu antibody (HuAb) is directed against RNA-associated neuronal proteins and is known to cause paraneoplastic encephalomyelitis/sensory neuronopathy syndrome mostly when associated with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Paraneoplastic encephalomyelitis/sensory neuronopathy syndrome with
A 16-month-old boy presented with failure to thrive despite sufficient caloric intake, hypersalivation, abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea and blepharitis. An eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) was diagnosed by esophageal biopsy. Dietary restrictions and topical steroid treatment lead to no improvement.
BACKGROUND
We describe the case of a patient with small cell lung cancer and dual paraneoplastic syndromes involving adrenocorticotropic hormone and calcitonin. To the best of our knowledge, dual paraneoplastic syndromes involving these two hormones have not been previously reported in the
Introduction: Intestinal pseudo-obstruction is characterized by impaired transit and luminal dilation in the absence of mechanical obstruction. Our study aims to describe the clinical, radiographic, and physiological findings in
Neuroendocrine paraneoplastic syndromes (PNS) consist of metabolic disorders that accompany benign and malignant neoplasms but remain unrelated to mass effects or invasion by the primary tumor or its metastases. The underlying pathogenesis responsible for PNS usual clinical presentation relies on
We believe this to be the first case of life-threatening paraneoplastic syndrome (PNS) in a child with undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver (UESL). We report a case of a 9-year-old child with UESL believed to be unresectable at presentation, who experienced life-threatening, refractory
We report a 26-year-old woman admitted to our hospital for generalized tonic seizure. Laboratory investigations revealed severe hyponatremia possibly triggered by vomiting and diarrhea. 24 hours after correction of hyponatremia she developed diffuse myalgias and marked hyperCKemia. Syndrome of
