[Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration as the presenting manifestation of breast carcinoma: a case report]
Introduction:
Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration may be a manifestation indicative of lung, gynecological or breast cancer. Nevertheless, breast cancer is rarely revealed by the occurrence of a paraneoplastic syndrome.
Case Report:
We report a 38-year-old patient who presented a paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration with anti-Yo antibodies as the presenting manifestation of a breast cancer.
Conclusion:
The diagnosis of a paraneoplastic neurological syndrome (PNS) should lead to urgent and comprehensive screening for cancer oriented by the type of PNS and the nature of the anti-neuronal antibody.
