- Abstract
- We present a 55-year-old man who has a six-month history of progressive weakness of all limbs. Findings from neurologic examination were notable for a diffuse muscular weakness and atrophy in all limbs. Laboratory findings for collagen vascular disease, monoclonal gammopathy, and infections were normal. Electrophysiologic studies supported lower motor neuron (LMN) syndrome. CT scan and needle biopsy disclosed small cell lung cancer. This case suggests that in some elderly patients with LMN syndrome a careful search for an underlying cancer is warranted. Key Words:Paraneoplastic syndromes, Lower motor neuron disease, Lung cancer
