Paraneoplastic polyneuropathy

A diffuse or multifocal peripheral neuropathy caused by the effects of a distant neoplasm. It may be attributed, in part, to the immune response to neoplasm-elaborated proteins. The neuropathy may be sensory, motor, mixed or autonomic. It may be the initial presentation of an occult neoplasm. Detection and resection of the neoplasm may result in cure.
