pulmonary and parietal pleura. The hypertrophic osteopathy demonstrated by the thickening of cortical bones is a common paraneoplastic syndrome associated with thoracic space-occupying lesions. 2 Although the exact mechanism of hypertrophic osteopathy
defined as the interval from first skin incision to placement of the last suture. Tumor stage was determined as described elsewhere. 16 Presence and extent of paraneoplastic syndromes were classified as no evidence of paraneoplastic syndrome, myasthenia
syndromes such as hypercalcemia, MG, polymyositis, dermatitis, arrhythmias, and other immune-mediated disease may worsen the prognosis in patients with thymoma 5 and may not always resolve following removal of the mass. In some instances, paraneoplastic

conversely, rheumatic disorders late in their course may be complicated by the development of malignancies. 10 Cancer-associated rheumatic disorders may be classified as paraneoplastic syndromes induced by distant tumors via mediators; invasions of bone
. It typically begins on the phalanges and metacarpal and metatarsal bones and progresses proximally. 3 As a paraneoplastic syndrome, the prognosis for hypertrophic osteopathy usually depends on the prognosis for the underlying cause. Removal of the

cranial mediastinal masses may present with dyspnea, regurgitation, polydipsia/polyuria, lethargy, and/or weight loss mediated by local effects or paraneoplastic syndrome. 3 Reported paraneoplastic syndromes associated with thymoma include hypercalcemia
polymyositis. 3,6,8,11 Thymoma-associated exfoliative dermatitis is an interesting, yet poorly understood, paraneoplastic syndrome in cats. Clinical features of this syndrome include generalized desquamation, alopecia on the body, and multifocal crusts
criteria of a paraneoplastic syndrome whereby a neoplastic-related disorder is mediated through a tumor that affects a distant organ or tissue. In cats, paraneoplastic alopecia is a rare skin disease that is most commonly linked with pancreatic carcinoma
