    Author: Kim YH, Park JM, Kang CD, Seo SO, Lee K, Song G.
    Journal: Korean J Gastroenterol; 2021 Jul 25; 78(1):59-64. PubMed ID: 34312359.
    Abstract:
    Jaundice is a rare symptom of the paraneoplastic syndrome associated with prostate cancer. We report a case of metastatic prostate cancer that presented as jaundice. There was an absence of biliary obstruction and hepatic metastasis; therefore, the paraneoplastic syndrome was suggested as the etiology of cholestasis. Jaundice improved with the treatment of prostate cancer. In the literature, interleukin-6 has been suggested to be associated with paraneoplastic syndrome.
