Abstract

Para Neoplastic Syndromes (PNS) are defined as a heterogeneous group of clinical and/or laboratory abnormalities that precede or occur simultaneously with a neoplasm or its metastases and can occur in both small animals and humans with comparatively similar symptoms. It is important to mention that PNS have already been described in the systems gastrointestinal, endocrine, circulatory/hematological, neurological, bone and nonspecific. Thus, recognizing and describing a PNS early on, whether common or not, is of great value in veterinary, given its importance in assisting the diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic processes.
