[Limbic encephalitis in the course of testicular lymphoma].
The malignant tumor patient tends to develop various neuropathy by direct invasion, metastasis, secondary infectious disease of tumor, metabolic disorders, vascular damage and adverse drug reactions with a treatment, and, however, it rarely appear by mechanism of autoimmunization. Tumor tissue with paraneoplastic neurological syndrome (PNS) produces an antigen attacking nerve tissue by it's cross reaction, and many studies indicates that there are a few kinds of antineuritic antibodies occurred by the charactor of malignant diseases or the patterns of progression. There is no relationship between the symptoms and the progression of disease. We report a case of malignant testicular tumor presented the paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis which is one of paraneoplastic neurological syndrome.
