Schizophrenia is associated to somatic disorders especially
cardio-vascular and auto-immune. Through this case report, we describe
an association with hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HPO). For this
patient it was a paraneoplastic paraneoplastic syndrome secondary to
lung cancer. This syndrome is rare but important to recognize since it
could hide a life-threatening condition.
Nephrotic syndrome may be the first clinical manifestation of neoplasms,
such as paraneoplastic syndrome. Several studies have been identified
the association of cancer with nephrotic syndrome, although laboratory
and histological markers that correlate the presence of NS and melanoma,
are still needed.
