Opsoclonus as a suspected paraneoplastic syndrome of endometrial cancer

چکیده
Paraneoplastic opsoclonus is well described in neuroblastoma. In the adult oncologic population, opsoclonus is seen usually within the context of opsoclonus-myoclonus ataxia and is associated most strongly with small-cell lung cancer.
