Abstract:
Eosinophilia is most frequently associated with asthma, allergic conditions, and parasitic infestation. Eosinophilia can also be associated with many forms of cancer. However, eosinophilia is infrequently associated with solid tumors. We experienced a 73-year-old-woman with eosinophilia as a manifestation of paraneoplastic syndrome that was combined with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Initially, she was diagnosed with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome, but was diagnosed with NSCLC 1 month later. Here, we report this case with a brief review of the literature.
