  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A case of brain metastasis of lung cancer with Eaton-Lambert syndrome (ELS) is reported.

A 45-year-old male was admitted to the Depart-ment of Surgery in Kurume University Hospital on November 13, 1985, complaining of general fatigue. On admission, neurological examination revealed diplopia and fatigue of the extremities. The electromyogram (EMG) showed the waning phe-nomenon in low frequency repetitive stimulation (2Hz) and the waxing phenomenon in high fre-quency repetitive stimulation (10Hz, 20Hz). His clinical symptoms, radiological findings and EMG findings demonstrated lung cancer with ELS. Leftpulmonary lobectomy with lymphnode dissection of the anterior mediastinum and pulmonary hilus was performed on December 4. Intraoperatively, the tumor was strongly adherent to a medium lymphnode. The patient experienced complete relief symptoms due to ELS. Histological examination disclosed a small cell carcinoma without lymphnode metastasis. He was discharged without any neuro-logical deficits following chemotherapy on February 27, 1986.

He was readmitted to the Department of Neuro-surgery on August 29, 1986, because of the develop-ment of nausea and vomiting. Neurological exami-nation demonstrated no abnormalities except for choked disc in the bilateral ocular fundi. The computed tomography scan revealed a metastatic brain tumor with a mural nodule and cyst. The tumor was totally removed on September 2. His-tological examination revealed a typical appear-ance of small cell carcinoma. He followed a satis-factory postoperative course. He was discharged following radiation therapy on November 2, 1986, and was followed as an outpatient. He has no prob-lem in daily life since then.

Though the patient had an expanding metastatic brain tumor from lung cancer after the first opera-tion, he experienced no symptoms due to ELS. His clinical course and findings suggested that the manifestation of ELS was due to lymphnode stimu-lation by the neoplasm.
