We report here a rare case of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accompanied by a partial spontaneous regression with a progression of paraneoplastic sensory neuropathy (PSN). A 55-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with dry cough and progressive numbness in the distal extremities over 1 month. She was diagnosed as small cell lung cancer associated with paraneoplastic sensory neuropathy. About 1 month later, partial spontaneous regression of tumor with a progression of paraneoplastic sensory neuropathy was observed. A complete response was achieved through chemotherapy and concurrent radiotherapy. As the tumor size decreased, her neurological symptoms improved. A short interval between onset of PSN and the start of therapy may be essential for successful treatment for not only SCLC but also PSN.
我们在此报告一例罕见的小细胞肺癌(SCLC)病例,该病例伴有肿瘤部分自发消退以及副肿瘤性感觉神经病变(PSN)进展。一名55岁女性因干咳及1个月来四肢远端进行性麻木入住我院。她被诊断为与副肿瘤性感觉神经病变相关的小细胞肺癌。约1个月后,观察到肿瘤部分自发消退且副肿瘤性感觉神经病变进展。通过化疗和同步放疗实现了完全缓解。随着肿瘤大小减小,她的神经症状有所改善。PSN发病与治疗开始之间的短时间间隔对于SCLC和PSN的成功治疗可能至关重要。
