RESUMO
Carcinomatous neuropathy has become defined and the object of universal clinical attention during the last 20 years. The more obscure an entity and the more varied its clinical presentation, the greater the speculation as to its aetiology and the stimulus to its documentation. This is the first report of this condition from the Kingston Hospital. A series of personal cases seen during the last eight years is briefly outlined. The varied clinical pictures are described and correlated with a suggested clinical classification. Current aetiologic concepts are reviewed. The literature is briefly discussed and the principal differential diagnoses are examined (AU)
