  • Title: [Coincidence of two carcinomata with excessive high level of serumestrogen (author's transl)].
    Author: Steldinger R, Schmidt L, Schmidt-Gollwitzer M, Eber H, Iglesias JR, Frisius H.
    Journal: Med Klin; 1976 Oct 08; 71(41):1717-9. PubMed ID: 979872.
    Abstract:
    A case of an unusual combination of a metastasing bronchus cancer, a non-metastasing cancer of prostata and an excessive high level of serum-estrogen is described. This casuistic gives rise to some more general discussion of the pathogenesis and differential diagnosis of paraneoplastic endocrinopathies. Breast cancer was discovered in a 78-year-old man, which came from a metastasizing bronchus cancer. Investigation showed a level of serum estrogen 20 times higher than normal. This was probably due to a nonmetastasizing prostate cancer, spironalactone therapy for heart trouble, paraneoplactic endocrinopathy, and the Pierre-Marie-Bamberger syndrome.
