[Polyradiculoneuritis revealing broncho-pulmonary cancer. A case report and brief review of the literature].
We report a case of a 64 year old male who was a chronic smoker who presented with walking troubles and an acute severe deterioration in his general health. Examination revealed a polyradiculoneuritis. A search for a cause revealed a poorly differentiated epidermoid carcinoma of the lung. Thus the final diagnosis was that of paraneoplastic P.R.N.
