Paraneoplastic sensorimotor neuropathy, neural autoantibody negative – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1966156686

Paraneoplastic sensorimotor neuropathy occurs as a remote effect in cancer and lymphoma patients in an undetermined frequency. It is an uncharacteristic sensorimotor neuropathy with mixed motor and sensory component also with a large variance of clinical expression. The neuropathy can occur at the first presentation of the cancer, or appear in the later course, where it has to be distinguished from treatment toxicity, sequelae of weight loss and hypovitaminosis. Antibody negative.
