  • Title: Systemic sclerosis associated with rectal cancer. Case report and a brief review of the literature.
    Author: Orphanos G, Ardavanis A, Charalambous P, Stavrakakis J, Rigatos G.
    Journal: In Vivo; 2008; 22(6):825-9. PubMed ID: 19181015.
    Abstract:
    Autoimmune diseases may appear as paraneoplastic syndromes during the course of a neoplastic disease, the most common being dermatomyositis/ polymyositis. The association of systemic sclerosis and cancer is not clear. The case of a 56-year-old male with rectal cancer and systemic sclerosis where the coexistence of the two diseases was closely related, so that scleroderma was considered a paraneoplastic syndrome rather than a concomitant morbid condition, is presented.
