ABSTRACT
The Kelch-like protein 11 antibody-associated paraneoplastic neurological syndrome (KLHL 11-PNS) was first identified in 2019. This novel antibody, targeting the intracellular KLHL 11 antigen, can be detected in serum and cerebrospinal fluid using tissue-based and cell-based assays. It is thought to be a biomarker for a T-cell autoimmunity response. The most likely immunopathogenesis of KLHL 11-PNS appears to be linked to cytotoxic T-cell-mediated neuronal injury and loss. Patients have adult-male predilection, rhombencephalitis (brainstem and / or cerebellar involvement), and a robust oncological correlation with testicular germ cell tumors (predominately seminoma). Brain magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated T2 / fluid-attenuated inversion recovery hyperintensities and atrophy of the temporal lobe, cerebellum, and brainstem. Most patients responded poorly to immunotherapy and oncotherapy and thus had a poor long-term prognosis. We review the literature and provide an update of current knowledge regarding KLHL 11-PNS, including epidemiology, underlying mechanism, clinical presentations, paraclinical and oncological findings, diagnostic workup, and treatment approaches.
