We present the case of a 71 year old man with a history of adenocarcinoma of the prostate who developed cancer associated retinopathy concomitant with small cell transformation. This represents an unusual paraneoplastic syndrome that may be progressive and irreversible, requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment to preserve visual function and guide further oncological care. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/21063 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.eucr.2019.100872 | Journal: | Urology case reports | PubMed URL: | 31211081 | ISSN: | 2214-4420 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Cancer associated retinopathy Paraneoplastic Prostate cancer |
