We describe here a case of female patient who presented with mild proximal weakness, myalgia, and markedly elevated CPK, which could be ascribed to paraneoplastic necrotizing myopathy in association with ovarian adenocarcinoma. A histologic examination of the vastus lateralis muscle showed necrosis of muscle fibers without inflammatory cell infiltration. Her neurologic symptoms improved following tumor resection and systemic chemotherapy. Paraneoplastic necrotizing myopathy may be a presenting manifestation of malignancy, and early recognition and prompt treatment are crucial for the clinical improvement.

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a clinical syndrome comprising vertical supranuclear palsy, parkinsonism, postural instability, and mild dementia. Other disorders can present with similar clinical pictures. In this report we describe a case of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) presenting with the PSP and discuss which features may help to prevent misdiagnosis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of CJD presenting with PSP syndrome in Korea.
