Abstract
Paraneoplastic vasculitis is a rare entity usually seen in haematological malignancies. Its incidence is even more rare in solid tumours like breast, renal, colon and lung. F-18 FDG PET-CT is commonly used to differentiate between active vasculitis and atherosclerosis in patients with large to medium vessel vasculitis. We present a case of moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma colon presenting for the assessment of with paraneoplastic vasculitis.
期刊介绍：
Primarily being a medical journal, JPMA publishes scholarly research focusing on the various fields in the areas of health and medical education. It publishes original research describing recent advances in health particularly clinical studies, clinical trials, assessments of pathogens of diagnostic importance, medical genetics and epidemiological studies. Review articles highlighting importance of various issues in the domain of public health, drug research and medical education are also accepted. As a leading journal of South Asia, JPMA remains cognizant of the recent advances in the rapidly growing fields of biomedical sciences, it invites and encourages scholars to write short reviews and invited editorials on the emerging issues. We particularly aim to promote health standards of developing countries by encouraging manuscript submissions on issues affecting the public health and health delivery services.
