Abstract

A 76-year-old man with proved small-cell and non-small-cell lung cancer and symptoms of a paraneoplastic syndrome, including a heliotrope rash; scaly erythematous rash over the face, neck, and upper torso; proximal muscle weakness; and creatine kinase elevation, underwent F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) as part of a work-up to detect (mediastinal) lymph nodes or distant metastases.
