Abstract

Demirsoy U, Alparslan B, Şen MC, Anık Y, Akansel G, Görür G, Gürel B, Aksu G, Çorapçıoğlu F. More than Ophelia syndrome: Multiple paraneoplastic syndromes in pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma. Turk J Pediatr 2019; 61: 139-141. Paraneoplastic syndromes in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) can be seen with different symptoms and organ findings within a significant time before definite diagnosis of the primary disease. Achalasia, Holmes-Adie pupil, and limbic encephalitis are rarely reported paraneoplastic components in pediatric HL. In this report, we present an 11-year-old girl who had all these three paraneoplastic components synchronously before HL was identified.
