BAD or bi-brachial neurogenic weakness is a rare phenotypic presentation associated with paraneoplastic autoimmunity. Co-existing features of brainstem dysfunction or cerebellar ataxia should prompt further paraneoplastic evaluation. Common serological and cancer associations among these cases include LUZP4-IgG and KLHL11-IgG, along with testicular germ cell tumors, respectively.
