title: Paraneoplastic encephalomyelitis: a case report and review of the literature.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The incidence of paraneoplastic syndromes varies with tumor histology. Uterine sarcomas rarely cause paraneoplastic syndromes. Furthermore, paraneoplastic encephalomyelitis has never been reported to accompany a uterine leiomyosarcoma.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 44-year-old female developed an ANNA-1 paraneoplastic encephalomyelitis after a diagnosis of a uterine leiomyosarcoma.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Paraneoplastic encephalomyelitis usually causes progressive neurologic decline. Treatment rarely alters this course.
