ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To study the clinical characteristics and significance of blood eosinophilia in lung cancer.METHODS:
A case of lung cancer with eosinophilia in the peripheral blood was analyzed, and the related literature was reviewed.RESULTS:
A 80-year-old male patient presented with chest pain was admitted to this hospital. Chest CT scan showed a cavity in the right upper lung. Peripheral blood leukocyte count was 2.15 x 10(9)/L, of which 16.9% was mature eosinophils. Histological examination of the biopsy specimens obtained under CT guidance confirmed the diagnosis of lung squamous cell carcinoma. There was also evidence of metastasis to the bones.CONCLUSIONS:
Paraneoplastic eosinophilia is uncommon in solid malignancies and indicative of tumor dissemination with generally poor prognosis.
