Because of the usual polypoid structure and endobronchial location, patients typically present with recurrent post-obstructive pneumonia2. Presentation with symptoms due to definitive paraneoplastic syndromes (PNS) has never been reported in primary pulmonary MEC. In the following report, we describe a suspected case of PNS due to endobronchial MEC wherein the patient presented with diplopia which resolved after tumor resection. CASE PRESENTATION: A 67-year-old healthy man presented to the emergency department at the advice of his ophthalmologist after developing bilateral horizontal diplopia three days prior. His vision changes were preceded by a two-week febrile illness with cough and pharyngitis that had resolved prior to presentation after treatment with amoxicillin. Physical examination demonstrated multiple cranial nerve palsies, most notable in the bilateral abducens nerves. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and orbits was unremarkable. Preliminary cerebrospinal fluid analysis showed non-specific elevated protein and immunoglobulin G levels. Concurrently, his recent respiratory symptoms prompted chest radiograph followed by computed tomography of the chest which revealed an endobronchial lesion in the right bronchus intermedius with distal obstructive atelectasis of the middle and lower lobes. The patient underwent flexible and rigid bronchoscopy with tumor biopsy, transbronchial nodal aspiration, and multimodal tumor debridement. Pathologic evaluation showed low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma without nodal involvement. The patient was discharged to await further treatment recommendations. During this time, additional CSF studies returned which detected an elevated level of AChR ganglionic neuronal antibodies (0.05nmol/L; ref <0.02nmol/L) supporting a paraneoplastic neurologic process as the cause of his cranial nerve deficits. After multidisciplinary discussion, right pneumonectomy was recommended to ensure complete resection. The day following uncomplicated pneumonectomy, the patient reported significant improvement in diplopia, and it completely resolved over the subsequent month. DISCUSSION: Although various primary lung cancers have been associated with antibody-mediated paraneoplastic syndromes affecting the nervous system, this association has never been reported with pulmonary mucoepidermoid carcinoma. It has been hypothesized that infection may trigger paraneoplastic syndromes, which may have been a factor in this case. Pulmonary MEC is typically low-grade and localized at the time of presentation and prompt diagnosis and surgical resection can be curative for both the malignancy and any associated paraneoplastic syndrome. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first reported case of antibody-mediated paraneoplastic syndrome affecting the nervous system associated with pulmonary mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Surgical resection of the tumor resulted in complete resolution of the associated cranial nerve deficits. REFERENCE #1: Yousem SA, Hochholzer L. Mucoepidermoid tumors of the lung.
