Case Reports
[Limbic encephalitis: a new paraneoplastic auto-immune manifestation associated with metastatic melanoma?].

Limbic encephalitis driven by immune-mediated disorders may also be observed during the course of certain cancers. ⋯ To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of probably paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis associated with melanoma, a new example of an immune-related condition associated with prolonged survival in metastatic melanoma.
