Recent onset arthritis might be an early manifestation of an occult malignancy. Three patients are described: one with carcinoma, primary site unknown; one with oat cell carcinoma of the bronchus; and one with breast cancer. The presenting symptom of their disease was polyarthritis. Two of the patients were seropositive and in two patients the arthritis regressed following the removal of the tumor. Awareness of paraneoplastic arthritis, especially if its appearance is explosive or in relatively old age, should caution the physician of the possibility of a potentially curable, but hidden neoplasm.
近期发病的关节炎可能是隐匿性恶性肿瘤的早期表现。本文描述了三名患者：一名原发性部位不明的癌症患者；一名支气管燕麦细胞癌患者；一名乳腺癌患者。他们疾病的首发症状是多关节炎。其中两名患者血清学呈阳性，两名患者在肿瘤切除后关节炎消退。认识到副肿瘤性关节炎，尤其是如果其表现突然出现或发生在相对年长的患者中，应提醒医生注意可能存在潜在可治愈但隐匿的肿瘤的可能性。
