Abstract
In 1961, Stauffer first described a syndrome characterized by nonmetastatic intrahepatic cholestasis associated with undifferentiated renal adenocarcinoma. Since that time, this syndrome has been associated with other tumor diseases. We describe here a patient with lung adenocarcinoma which led to paraneoplastic cholestasis. We discuss the diagnosis and review the literature, emphasizing the pathophysiology of Stauffer's syndrome.Entities:
