Stauffer syndrome : a rare paraneoplastic complication of renal cell carcinoma to be kept in mind. Case report and literature survey
Acta Gastroenterol Belg. 2024 Jan-Mar;87(1):40-43. doi: 10.51821/87.1.11402.ABSTRACTThe authors report the case of a 74-years-old woman treated by immunotherapy for a metastatic renal cell carcinoma and having developed an important cholestasis with thrombocytosis, increased CRP, leucocytosis and hypoalbuminemia. Liver remained free of metastases at medical imaging. The diagnosis of a Stauffer syndrome was confirmed by the hepatic biopsy. A complete response of liver disorders was obtained after nephrectomy. From literature survey, Stauffer syndrome should be kept in mind in cancer patients, especially those suffering from a renal cell carcinoma, presenting with cholestasis with no underlying cause.PMID:38431790 | DOI:10.51821/87.1.11402
