Description |
Recent findings of the aquaporin-4 (AQP4) immunoglobulin G (IgG) in cancer patients' serum have indicated neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) as a potential paraneoplastic immune response. While 38 cases of AQP4-IgG positive paraneoplastic NMOSDs have been reported, none has been associated with small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). We report the first case of SCLC-associated seropositive NMOSD |
