COXITIS AS A MANIFESTATION OF PARANEOPLASTIC SYNDROME

Abstract

The paper describes a clinical case of late diagnosis of malignant lung tumor with the development of skeletal and intracranial lymph node metastatic lesions. Right hip joint pain was the reason for seeking medical advice; coxitis was diagnosed. Weight loss, obvious blood inflammatory changes, and a long-term smoking history aim to find cancer. Further examination as multislice spiral computed tomography of the lungs and pelvic bones could establish a diagnosis.
