  • Title: Atypical presentations of malignant disease.
    Author: Grossman SA, Vaughan WP.
    Journal: Geriatrics; 1983 May; 38(5):89-90, 92, 94. PubMed ID: 6840555.
    Abstract:
    The presenting signs and symptoms of malignancy may be easily mistaken for more common medical problems. There are many clinical problems common to geriatric practice that can be secondary to an underlying malignancy. Weight loss in the elderly can be the result of a wide variety of medical and psychosocial factors--from poorly fitting dentures to an inability to afford, procure, or prepare foods. But in this population, a possible neoplasm underlying weight loss is always a serious concern.
