Very interesting case, and very concise. Photos are so illustrative but I miss a histopathological one (of the muscle biopsy). It would have been more interesting.
On the other hand it would have been a great idea to use this clinical case to make a more thorough review (not very deeply) about the association of solid tumours and this rare paraneoplastic syndrome giving us more data. Be careful with considering melanoma as a non-solid tumour.

Other Comments:
Needs additional review of the relevant literature. Article is too short and it only reports what is already established in literature. At least addition of review of relevant literature would be useful.
