Abstract

Hypereosinophilia is a phenomenon which is associated with a broad variety of allergic, infectious, paraneoplastic and systemic diseases. Depending on the aetiology, these disorders differ in severity from self-limiting to life-threatening. Although it is well known that hypereosinophilia can occur in association with a solid tumour, exact numbers of incidence are lacking. We describe a patient with respiratory insufficiency and an elevated level of eosinophils in the peripheral blood. A diagnostic work-up revealed the presence of a disseminated non-small-cell carcinoma of the lung; an association not frequently described.
