Anti-Hu antibody-mediated limbic encephalitis associated with cervical cancer: A case report.

ABSTRACT

A 55-year-old postmenopausal and multiparous woman presented to our department with recent memory disturbances associated with rapidly progressive positive Anti-Hu antibodies. She was subsequently diagnosed with anti-Hu antibody-related paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis. Clinical examination and imaging studies revealed a bulky cervical tumor with both parametrial and vaginal fornix extension; biopsy confirmed the tumor as cervical squamous cell carcinoma. In this case, we encountered a patient with anti-Hu-mediated paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis with a subsequent diagnosis of cervical cancer.
