Pleural effusion
💁♂️Small cell lung cancer commonly leads to superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome, especially when tumors compress major thoracic structures.
🦴Spinal cord compression may result from metastases to vertebrae, causing weakness or neuro deficits.
💧Pleural effusion is a common complication in advanced lung cancer due to inflammation or lymphatic obstruction.
🧪Hyperkalemia and pheochromocytoma are unrelated.
🩸Dissecting aortic aneurysm is rare and unrelated to this case's symptoms or diagnosis.
📌Core Message
Lung cancer increases risk for SVC syndrome, spinal compression, and pleural effusion due to tumor location and spread.
