Abstract
The association of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy ( CIDP) and carcinoma has rarely been reported and its relevance is deba ted. Thirty three consecutive patients with probable or definite CIDP (idiopathic or associated with M protein) were investigated. Three pat ients with definite CIDP had a con-comitant carcinoma. One had an IgM paraprotein. Steroids and intravenous immunoglobulins were effective.
