ABSTRACT
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has been described very rarely in association with underlying malignancy. We experienced a 68-year-old male with systemic erythematosus lupus associated with squamous cell lung cancer. He had radiation therapy as a primary treatment modality. Ten months after the radiation therapy, he suffered from intermittent fever, myalgia, multiple arthralgia, dry cough, and dyspnea. He had leukocytosis and lymphopenia. Anti-nuclear antibody was positive. He had bilateral pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, and proteinuria (2405 mg/day). He had peripheral neuropathy with lower extremity weakness. There was no evidence of recurrence of lung cancer. He was treated with naproxen (1 gm/day) with symptomatic improvement. We describe a clinical course of paraneoplastic SLE in patient with lung cancer, and review the literatures.
