  • Title: Distal phalangeal necrosis in the extremities as a paraneoplastic syndrome in prostate cancer: an extremely rare case.
    Author: Akin Y, Yucel S, Baykara M.
    Journal: Urol Int; 2014; 93(2):244-6. PubMed ID: 24281198.
    Abstract:
    Paraneoplastic syndromes (PNSs) are rare disorders which are triggered by an altered immune system response to a neoplasm. Although prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common urological malignancy associated with PNSs, literature is lacking in defining the cases representing different PNSs in PCa. Herein, we present a 50-year-old man with fulminant distal phalangeal necrosis in the lower extremities after a diagnosis of PCa. Additionally, we review the literature in light of this case.
