ABSTRACT
A paraneoplastic syndrome is a disease or symptom that is the consequence of the presence of cancer in the body but is not due to the local presence of cancer cells. Thus, successful treatment of the underlying tumor often improves such syndromes. Amylase-producing lung cancer, multiple myeloma, and ovarian cancer are reported only rarely. In Korea, no cases of hyperamylasemia have been reported in patients with primary peritoneal carcinoma. We report an interesting case of hyperamylasemia suspected to have been induced by primary peritoneal carcinoma. The patient's amylase isoenzyme patterns indicated salivary-type amylase. Hyperamylasemia was reduced in parallel with the response to chemotherapy. These data confirmed the diagnosis of amylase-producing primary peritoneal carcinoma.
