A few causes...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

While hot sweats are associated with infection, inflammation, hyperthyroidism as well as tumors; cold sweats are predominantly related tumors. But there are multiple incidents where the symptoms could be related to any of the aforementioned causes.

A detailed medical history, clinical examination and relevant investigation are needed to isolate the cause.

Let me know if you need any other information.
