Abstract 

Paraneoplastic Raynaud's phenomenon is a rare complication of a number of different malignancies (carcinomas, sarcomas, lymphomas, and leukemias). We present a case of paraneoplastic Raynaud's phenomenon in a patient with non-small-cell lung cancer that was associated with significant morbidity, involved a multidisciplinary approach, and eventually responded to a specialized intervention (i.e., iloprost trometamol).

Key Words: Paraneoplastic Raynaud's phenomenon, palliative care, multidisciplinary management, iloprost
