Abstract

We report an interesting case of a patient with renal cell carcinoma who developed a refractory cough, which immediately resolved after tumor embolization. Patient's symptoms including low-grade fever, weight loss, and abnormal laboratory results also improved shortly after subsequent nephrectomy. The clinical manifestations of the patient are most likely representing paraneoplastic syndrome secondary to renal cell carcinoma.
