A 63-year-old man was admitted in hospital because of extreme weight loss (about 20 kg within 6 months), weakness, fatigue, exertional dyspnea, periods of hacking cough, and laboratory disturbances (elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, increased C-reactive protein values, disturbances in the protein electrophoresis), with no proper etiology.
