Abstract EN
We describe a 66-year-old woman who presented with a dramatic course of PERM.
Anti-glycine receptor antibodies were found.
She stabilized after plasma-exchange and partly recovered.
Eighteen months later, a diagnosis of smouldering breast cancer with bone marrow metastasis was made.
There are indications that this tumor was already present at first presentation.
An overview of PERM and anti-glycine receptor antibodies is given.
