Adenocarcinoma of the prostate and Eaton-Lambert syndrome. A previously unreported association.
Eaton-Lambert myasthenic syndrome is rare. We report the first case of adenocarcinoma of prostate associated with this syndrome. Subsequent treatment by orchidectomy caused tumour regression and remission of the syndrome. The patient remains well 9 months after the treatment.
