Abstract

Complex regional pain syndrome type I (CRPS-I) is infrequently associated with various malignancies, and may lead to severe pain in already debilitated patients. The causal relationship between CRPS-I and paraneoplastic syndrome, controversies in diagnosis and treatment, and new treatment modalities are presented.
