We report an interesting case of a patient with renal cell carcinoma who developed a refractory cough, which immediately resolved after tumor embolization. Patient's symptoms including low-grade fever, weight loss, and abnormal laboratory results also improved shortly after subsequent nephrectomy. The clinical manifestations of the patient are most likely representing paraneoplastic syndrome secondary to renal cell carcinoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
