Abstract
The article presents a clinical case of combination of Miller Fisher syndrome and unspecified peripheral T-cell lymphoma, which is an aggressive disease with an extremely poor prognosis. The pathogenetic treatment of the identified syndrome did not cause an improvement in the pa- tient's condition and did not affect the expected unfavorable prognosis of the primary malignant disease, for which chemotherapy was not carried out due to the extremely serious condition of the patient. This case emphasizes the importance of an oncological search in patients with Miller Fisher syndrome and the mandatory determination of onconeural antibodies used in the diagnosis of paraneoplastic neurological syndrome, which occurs in malignant tumors of various histogenetic types.
