Is the paraneoplastic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion in lung cancer always attributable to the small cell variety?
نویسندگان
چکیده
The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) secretion is a well recognised paraneoplastic phenomenon and the vast majority are associated with small cell lung carcinoma. Rarely however, the non-small cell variety can sometimes be responsible and this report describes such an occurrence. Uniquely in this case, after chemotherapy the paraneoplastic SIADH improved in parallel with a tumour response and this has not been reported previously.

Non-small-cell lung cancer with multiple paraneoplastic syndromes.
We describe the case of a patient with multiple paraneoplastic syndromes, six in total, associated with a non-small-cell cancer of the lung. In this single patient we found hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy, hyperkeratosis of palms and soles, erythema annulare centrifugum, syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH), and ectopic andrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH)...
متن کاملMultiple paraneoplastic syndromes associated with small cell lung cancer: a unique case of concomitant Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration and syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone
Paraneoplastic syndromes (PNS) is not caused by direct invasion of tumor or its metastasis, but presumably immune mediated remote effects of cancer on other systems or organs. Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is an autoimmune disease of the neuromuscular junction, and about half of the patients with LEMS have a tumor. Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) is a subacute, and sever...
متن کاملSmall cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the uterine cervix presenting with syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion
Small cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix is rare. It is estimated that 10% of patients with small-cell lung cancer have syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) and hyponatremia has been reported to be significantly associated with a poor prognosis. A proportion of small cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix exhibit neuroendocrine characteristics as revealed by immun...

The Paraneoplastic syndromes include the disorders that accompany benign or malignant tumors but are not directly related to mass effects or invasion by the primary tumor or its metastases. Neoplastic cells can produce a variety of peptides that exert biologic actions at local and distant sites and can elicit responses that cause a variety of hormonal, hematologic, dermatologic and neurologic s...

We report the case of a patient presenting with multiple severe electrolyte disturbances who was subsequently found to have small cell lung cancer. Upon further evaluation, she demonstrated three distinct paraneoplastic processes, including the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone, Fanconi syndrome, and an inappropriate elevation in fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23). The patient und...
