Description
Paraneoplastic syndromes are relatively uncommon in horses, but should be considered in any horse presenting with unexplained laboratory abnormalities or clinical signs. Paraneoplastic syndromes may cause more morbidity than the tumour, and the appearance of the syndrome may be the first sign of a malignancy. The pathophysiology can be complex and treatment of the disorder, where possible, can allow for significant improvements in the quality of life of the affected horse.
