Urticaria associated with a small cell carcinoma of the lung.
Urticaria has been observed occasionally in association with lymphoproliferative disorders. We report the case of a 56-year-old man with acute urticaria associated with a small cell carcinoma of the lung. Following surgical treatment, the patient remained free of the urticaria.
