Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

The Pierre-Marie-Bamberger syndrome is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome caused by bronchial carcinoma. Typical signs are symmetric periostoses on the diaphyses of the long tubular bones, clubbed fingers and toes with eye-glass shape of the nails, neuro-vegetative disturbances and dysproteinemia. We report a 37-year-old patient with long-term nicotine abusus, who attracted attention by symptoms of a Pierre-Marie-Bamberger syndrome. Further diagnostics revealed a tumor in the apex of the left lung. After lobectomy of the upper lobe of the left lung the symptoms are completly disappeared.
