Abstract This pictorial review illustrates a wide variety of paraneoplastic syndromes possibly associated with ovarian tumors. Many paraneoplastic syndromes are caused by unknown mechanisms, while others can be explained by the ectopic production of hormones (paraendocrine syndromes). Paraneoplastic syndromes frequently antedate the recognition of the tumor, and disappear with the removal of the tumor. Knowledge of the variety of paraneoplastic syndromes may allow early detection of the underlying disease.
