The Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome is known to occur with, or precede, a variety of malignancies, most commonly oat cell carcinoma of the lung. We report the first case of this syndrome associated with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and ureter. A brief review of published reports on the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment is included.
