Abstract
IntroductionThe diagnosis of paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes is challenging when the primary tumor masquerades as scar tissue (i.e. “burned-out”). MethodsCase report. ResultsA 45-year-old male patient presented with progressive cerebellar symptoms and hearing loss. Initial screening for malignancy and extensive testing of paraneoplastic and autoimmune neuronal antibodies gave negative results. Repeated whole-body FDG-PET CT revealed a single paraaortic lymphadenopathy, metastasis of a regressed testicular seminoma. Anti-Kelch-like protein-11 (KLHL11) encephalitis was finally diagnosed. ConclusionOur case highlights the importance of continued efforts to find an often burned-out testicular cancer in patients with a highly unique clinical presentation of KLHL11 encephalitis.
