title: [Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy associated with prostatic adenocarcinoma].
abstract: METHODS
  Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an acquired autoimmune disorder of unknown cause. CIDP most often occurs alone and not as a complication of other disorders but may accompany plasma cell dyscrasias, human immunodeficiency virus infection, systemic lupus erythematosus and others diseases. The association of CIDP and carcinoma has rarely been reported and its relevance is debated.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We report one patient with CIDP and prostatic adenocarcinoma. Steroids therapy were effective.
