Neurological examination revealed bilateral ptosis, sluggish pupillary reactions, and internuclear ophthalmoplegia. Investigations demonstrated elevated anti\u2010acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody levels and nerve conduction studies (NCSs) consistent with MG. Imaging revealed a right middle lobe pulmonary nodule, confirmed as adenocarcinoma via fine\u2010needle aspiration. The patient showed symptomatic improvement with pyridostigmine and prednisolone and underwent surgical resection followed by chemotherapy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes (PNSs), though rare, can manifest as MG in association with malignancies. While MG is typically linked to thymoma, this case illustrates its coexistence with pulmonary adenocarcinoma, a seldom\u2010reported phenomenon. Cross\u2010reactivity between autoantibodies targeting neuronal and muscle AChRs may underlie the pathophysiology, emphasizing the need to evaluate underlying malignancies in atypical MG presentations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Seropositive MG can present as a paraneoplastic syndrome in association with adenocarcinoma of the lung, highlighting the importance of investigating underlying malignancies in atypical or newly diagnosed autoimmune conditions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1155\/cris\/6576971","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,22]],"date-time":"2026-09-22T06:07:36Z","timestamp":1790057256000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Unexpected Link Between Myasthenia Gravis and Lung Adenocarcinoma: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"given":"Biruke","family":"Temesgen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9219-513X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fitsum A.","family":"Gemechu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9095-5668","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael A.","family":"Negussie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-5175-0751","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Liya T.","family":"Tena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-9187-1225","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mesfin Ayalew","family":"Tsegaye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seyoum","family":"Kassa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3892\/etm.2022.11492"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0b013e3181ad53c2"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3988\/jcn.2011.7.1.43"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_2","first-page":"273","article-title":"Myasthenia Gravis Associated With Small Cell Carcinoma of the Lung","volume":"79","author":"Hazard P.
