	Neoplasia Essays
		These syndromes may occur in up to 10 to 15% of malignancies, and they may be the first or most prominent manifestation that the patient suffers, or may help in detection of the malignancy by laboratory testing for a substance secreted by the neoplasm.
		The cause of the paraneoplastic syndrome may be due to the production and release of physiologically active substances, or it may be idiopathic.
		The carcinoid syndrome is a paraneoplastic phenomenon caused by neoplasms of the neuroendocrine cells, often in the gastrointestinal tract.

	Paraneoplastic phenomenon
		A paraneoplastic phenomenon is a disease or symptom that is the consequence of the presence of cancer in the body, but is not due to the local presence of cancer cells.
		A particularly devastating form of paraneoplastic syndromes is a group of disorders classified as paraneoplastic neurological disorders (PNDs).
		Therefore, it is important that PND patients consult with a specialist with experience in diagnosing and treating paraneoplastic neurological disorders.

	Paraneoplastic phenomenon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration associated with lung, ovarian, breast, lymphatic, and other cancers
		Symptoms of paraneoplastic neurological disorders include ataxia (difficulty with walking and balance), dizziness, nystagmus (rapid uncontrolled eye movements), difficulty swallowing, loss of muscle tone, loss of fine motor coordination, slurred speech, memory loss, vision problems, sleep disturbances, dementia, seizures, sensory loss in the limbs.
		The most common cancers associated with paraneoplastic neurological disorders are breast, ovarian and lung cancer, but many other cancers have been linked to PNDs as well.

		In addition she described new onset skin photosensitivity, Raynauds phenomenon and acute dyspnoea on exertion which was diagnosed as pleuro-pericardial serositis on high resolution computed tomography.
		This tumour could have caused the initial presentation with weight loss and abdominal pain, and the close temporal relationship between the appearance of the tumour and the features initially of a lupus like disease and latterly of scleroderma suggest that they were paraneoplastic manifestations.
		Scleroderma has been previously reported as a paraneoplastic phenomenon coexisting most frequently with adenocarcinomas of lung, breast and stomach [3,4].

		Although rare, paraneoplastic JDM must be suspected in the presence of unusual features such as elevated inflammatory markers or lymphadenopathy.
