Rheumatic Manifestations of Malignancy T2 CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Rheumatology, 3e YR 2013 FD 2013 PB The McGraw-Hill Companies PP New York, NY SN 978-0-07-163805-0 LK accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=57275027 RD 2024/03/29 AB Rarely, tumor-like lesions, benign tumors, and malignancies involve joints directly, producing arthritis. More commonly, malignancies cause paraneoplastic syndromes with musculoskeletal manifestations. Certain paraneoplastic syndromes have rheumatic presentations that are distinctive and, therefore, warrant investigation of an underlying malignancy when recognized. Other paraneoplastic syndromes can mimic idiopathic rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, and can be a source of diagnostic error.
