Abstract

Paraneoplastic syndromes are observed in up to 8% of tumor patients. These disorders arise from tumor secretion of hormones, peptides, growth factors or cytokines or from immune cross-reactivity between malignant and normal tissues. Among many others paraneoplastic syndromes may also affect the rheumatologic system resulting in various musculoskeletal symptoms and/or syndromes. On the other hand, mainly hematological or lymphoproliferative diseases may also cause rheumatic symptoms by cell invasion or when affecting cellular elements of blood or the coagulation system. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the various associations between rheumatic symptoms and hemato-oncological diseases which might be of importance in clinical practice.
