[SMLE] SOX-1 antibodies positive Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome with occult small cell lung cancer: A case report
Clin Respir J. 2024 Mar;18(3):e13740. doi: 10.1111/crj.13740.
ABSTRACT
Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is a rare paraneoplastic neurological syndrome of the neuromuscular transmission. The symptoms often progress slowly and can be misdiagnosed in early stage. Seropositive SOX-1 antibodies are support for the diagnosis of LEMS and have high specificity for small cell lung cancer (SCLC). In this paper, we report a case of a 56-year-old man with smoking history who was admitted to hospital with progressive muscle weakness of the proximal legs. LEMS was diagnosed by repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) testing and seropositive SOX-1 antibodies. Primary screening with chest computed tomography (CT) and integrated PET/CT did not reveal any tumor. After continuous follow-up, SCLC was found by chest CT and confirmed with pathological examination 10 months after the diagnosis of LEMS. Long-term follow-up and screening for occult SCLC in LEMS patients with positive SOX-1 antibodies are very important.
