Anti-cardiolipin antibodies, Raynaud's phenomenon with digital ischemia, and non small cell carcinoma of the lung.
Raynaud's phenomenon, digital ischemia, antinuclear antibodies and anticardiolipin antibodies are uncommon features of malignancy. The association of all of these in a patient with malignancy has not previously been reported. We describe a 52 year old woman with non small-cell carcinoma of the lung who also had Raynaud's phenomenon, digital ischemia, anti-nuclear antibodies and anticardiolipin antibodies.
