ABSTRACT

Paraneoplastic syndrome is a group of signs and symptoms that are  not directly associated with tumor metastasis and caused by  hormones or cytokines that  are produced by a tumor or in reaction to a tumor. Here we presented a lung cancer case with a paraneoplastic dermatomyositis as a clinical evidence.
Keywords: paraneoplastic syndrome, lung cancer, dermatomyositis
