Clinical observation of a patient with a paraneoplastic polyneuropathy, associated with ovarian cancer, is presented. A feature of this case is its relative rarity. Stages of development of neurological disorders in combination with laboratory diagnostics data led to the need for oncological search, which resulted in the detection of ovarian cancer. Te histological diagnosis is confrmed by immunohistochemical method. Malignant tumor was detected one year afer the appearance of the frst signs of sensory polyneuropathy, which confrms the paraneoplastic nature of neurological disorders. A timely treatment for a malignant tumor can lead to the stabilization of neurological symptoms.
