Abstract:
Malignancies can present as inflammatory rheumatic diseases. These rheumatic paraneoplastic syndromes are rare, but characteristic in their pattern. This article focuses on epidemiology, clinical and diagnostic features as well as treatment of paraneoplasic rheumatic diseases such as paraneoplastic arthritides, vasculitides, myositis and hypertrophic osteoarthropathy. The knowledge of their clinical patterns is of utmost importance for early diagnosis and prognosis of yet undiagnosed malignancies.
