Bronchogenic Carcinoma presenting as Neurological Manifestation
Journal Title: Stanley Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Pancoast tumour forms 1% - 3% of all bronchogenic carcinomas. A major issue with these tumours is the delay in diagnosis. This is because the tumour symptoms can be mimicked by numerous neurological or musculo-skeletal disorders. We report 2 cases of Pancoast tumours presented with shoulder pain radiating along C8, T1 distribution, with wasting and weakness of small muscles of hand and forearm and features of Horner’s Syndrome without respiratory symptoms.
