N2  - Paraneoplastic syndromes (PNS) are a group of syndromes that occur in the body away from the primary tumor, dueto the indirect effects of neoplasia. These syndromes which affect most of the organ systems include neurological paraneoplasticsyndromes (NPNS) which arise once the neuromuscular junction, brain and peripheral nerve are affected. The importance of theseclinical and subclinical NPNSs is to diagnose lots of subtle malignities, especially in old cats and dogs. In the current case, a NPNSdue to a primary lung tumor is described. A 13 – year old, male, American Shorthair cat with lameness on left hind limb was admittedto the Surgery Clinic of Research and Practice Hospital at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Istanbul University. Plantigradelocomotion and tibial paralysis associated with lower motor neuron dysfunction were noted in physical examination. No abnormalitiesin the examination of haematological results and magnetic resonance imagining (MRI) findings of all vertebral region. However, theradiological examination of the thoracic cavity and the spiral computerized tomography (CT) findings confirmed the diagnosis of amass lesion in size of 3 x 2.8 cm at right caudal lung lobe. Paraneoplastic peripheral neuropathy due to a primary lung tumor wassuggested in the patient. The cat died due to respiratory failure seven days after the diagnosis.
