A member asked:
Could a 1mm lung tumor cause any paraneoplastic syndrome? from my little knowledge these are related to small cell tumors? thanks for any information
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That's really tiny: Paraneoplastic syndromes from occult lung cancer are not subtle. You're paralyzed, or very weak and can barely get out of bed, or you are suddenly blind, or are very and inexplicably hyponatremic, or you are stir-crazy. I'd dismiss paraneoplastic cushingism unless your face is strikingly red and puffy. 1 mm "spots" are extremely common in healthy folks; if considering surgery, be wary.
