Gastric diffuse large B cell lymphoma presenting as paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration: Case report and review of literature

Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (pcd) is a type of paraneoplastic neurological disorder (pnd) that is associated with many solid tumors,hodgkin's lymphoma (hl) and very rarely with non-hodgkin's lymphoma (nhl). we report a case of pcd associated with gastric diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (dlbcl) in a patient who presented with acute onset of giddiness and double vision and had complete remission of the gastric lesion and marked improvement of cerebellar syndrome with rituximab-based combination chemotherapy. a brief review of the literature is also presented. © 2013.
