ABSTRACT
A 67-year-old woman was admitted for intestinal pseudoobstruction associated with peripheral sensitive neuropathy. Jejunal biopsies performed during laparotomy, showed axonal degeneration and lympho-plasmocytic infiltration in myenteric plexus. High titer of seric anti-Hu antibodies suggested a paraneoplastic syndrome. Thoracic CT scan showed mediastinal lymph nodes. Their histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic small-cell lung carcinoma. Her condition gradually deteriorated despite supportive parenteral nutrition, chemotherapy, steroids and intravenous immunoglobulins. She died 12 months after the onset of symptoms.
