Ballistic-Choreic Movements as the Presenting Feature of Renal Cancer
Arch Neurol 58:1133-1135, Kujawa,K.A.,et al, 2001
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Whereas prior cases of paraneoplastic syndromes with chorea have been reported in other forms of cancer, our case was significant because, to our knowledge, renal cell carcinoma has not been previously reported in association with this syndr ome. Furthermore, the chorea was categorically resistant to pharmacological treatment, and the movement disorder was the initial and only focal neurological feature of the primary illness.
