We admitted a 60-year-old male patient diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma who had a shrinking lung cancer mass after radiotherapy and 6 cycles of chemotherapy, but developed facial inflammation 2 weeks after the end of the final chemotherapy treatment, and was admitted to the hospital with anemia and thrombocytopenia, and diagnosed with Evans syndrome, and brain metastasis of lung cancer was found in the course of the consultation, which suggested disease progression. Evans syndrome was seen as a paraneoplastic syndrome.
