- Abstract
Abstract: A 55‐year‐old postmenopausal and multiparous woman presented to our department with recent memory disturbances associated with rapidly progressive positive Anti‐Hu antibodies. She was subsequently diagnosed with anti‐Hu antibody‐related paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis. Clinical examination and imaging studies revealed a bulky cervical tumor with both parametrial and vaginal fornix extension; biopsy confirmed the tumor as cervical squamous cell carcinoma. In this case, we encountered a patient with anti‐Hu‐mediated paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis with a subsequent diagnosis of cervical cancer.
