Reversal of androgenic alopecia in Lung cancer

[deathmerchant]

Has anyone heard of this? I have a patient who just presented with weight loss and headache- found to have CA lung (most likely, biopsy pending) and a cerebellar lesion. He has always been completely bald but over the past few months, his hair have grown back and now has a full head of hair!!

Im guessing its some kind of paraneoplastic phenomenon, but I couldn't find any info? Thanks

Biopsy is pending, it was done yesterday. Most likely adeno with mediastinal spread.
