# Symptoms Related to Paraneoplastic Syndrome

# Symptoms Related to the Distant Spread of the Tumor
- Hoarseness (involvement of the recurrent laryngeal nerve)
- Dyspnea (one of the causes is the involvement of the phrenic nerve and subsequent elevation of the hemi-diaphragm)
- Pain, muscle wasting, or change in the skin temperature in areas corresponding to C8, T2 to T4 (involvement of the brachial plexus)
- Chest pain (one of the causes is the involvement of the chest wall)
- Pleuritic chest pain
- Horner syndrome manifested by unilateral miosis, ptosis and anhydrosis (involvement of the sympathetic trunk)
- Arrhythmia (involvement of the pericardium)
- Cardiac tamponade manifested by chest pain, altered mental status, cold extremities, peripheral cyanosis (involvement of the pericardium)
- Dysphagia (compression of the esophagus)
- Superior vena cava syndrome manifested by dyspnea, headache, and swelling of the face, neck, trunk, and arms
