These are very rare, occurring in 1\/10000 patients with a malignancy, and include Lambert\u2013Eaton myasthenic syndrome, limbic encephalitis, subacute cerebellar ataxia, opsoclonus-myoclonus, Stiff\u2013Person Syndrome, retinopathies, chronic gastrointestinal pseudo-obstruction and sensory neuropathy. This report describes a case of 41-year-old man who presented with elements of multiple paraneoplastic syndromes, including chronic gastrointestinal pseudo-obstruction, myasthenia gravis-Lambert\u2013Eaton overlap syndrome and polymyositis, and who was subsequently found to have a malignant thymoma. There are only three reported cases in the literature describing cases of Lambert\u2013Eaton myasthenic syndrome in association with a thymoma, and only one case of a myasthenia gravis-Lambert\u2013Eaton overlap syndrome in a patient with thymoma. However, there are no documented cases in the literature of this constellation of syndromes in a patient with a malignant thymoma.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr.02.2012.5790","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,3]],"date-time":"2012-07-03T10:30:13Z","timestamp":1341311413000},"page":"bcr0220125790","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["An
