title = "Asymmetrical and isolated hypoglossal nerve palsy accompanied by a new subset of anti-ganglioside antibodies in a patient with diffuse large b cell lymphoma",
abstract = " Malignant lymphoma sometimes involves peripheral nerves due to paraneoplastic syndrome associated with anti-ganglioside antibodies. We report a very rare case of malignant lymphoma accompanied by an asymmetrical and isolated hypoglossal nerve palsy associated with a new subset of anti-ganglioside antibodies. Magnetic resonance imaging and 18 F-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-glucose position emission tomography showed no abnormalities of the hypoglossal nerve nucleus; however, the patient{\textquoteright}s serum was positive for anti-sulfated glucuro-nyl paragloboside IgM antibodies as well as anti-GM1 IgM and anti-GQ1b IgM antibodies. The present case might suggest a paraneoplastic asymmetrical and isolated hypoglossal nerve palsy associated with a new subset of anti-ganglioside antibodies. ",
