  • Title: Paraneoplastic jaundice and prostate cancer.
    Author: Vieira AC, Alvarenga MJ, Santos JC, Silva AM.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2017 Apr 22; 2017():. PubMed ID: 28433972.
    Abstract:
    Cholestasis has numerous causes. We present the case of a 78-year-old man with a common diagnosis in this age group and gender but with an unusual presentation. There are only 11 articles published of patients with jaundice due to a paraneoplastic syndrome associated with prostate cancer. Interleukin 6 and other proinflammatory cytokines appear to contribute to the pathophysiology of this syndrome. Our patient remains symptom free 4 months after treatment initiation.
