[SMLE] Long-Standing Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome Caused by Undetectable Small-Cell Lung Cancer: Why We Should Foll
Diagnostics (Basel). 2022 Jun 24;12(7):1542. doi: 10.3390/diagnostics12071542.
ABSTRACT
Physicians often encounter patients with unexplained muscle weakness and dysphagia. Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) can cause unexplained weakness or dysphagia and is often accompanied by neoplastic conditions. A 64-year-old man who had several risk factors-14 kg weight loss over the last 4 years, 20 years of experience working as a coal miner, and being a 50 pack-year ex-smoker-complained of dysphagia, intermittent diplopia, mild weakness, and hypotonia. The initial computed tomography (CT) and follow-up positron emission tomography (PET) CT did not reveal any malignancy. After continuous follow-up for this LEMS, small-cell lung cancer (SCLC, cTxN1M0) was found on a serial follow-up chest CT 21 months after the LEMS diagnosis. The patient was treated with chemotherapy. LEMS is rare and is often accompanied by malignancy. This case highlights the importance of being concerned about LEMS diagnoses and of long-term follow-up for unexplained LEMS.
