Pituitary metastasis occurs rarely in cancer patients and often remains undiagnosed. However, early detection and appropriate treatment can improve the patient's quality of life and possibly prolong survival. Herein, we describe the case of a 52-year-old woman with panhypopituitarism caused by
We present a case of late recurrence of breast cancer manifested with diabetes insipidus caused by isolated intracranial metastases. A 57-year-old postmenopausal woman was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent radical mastectomy, without any adjuvant therapy. Seventeen years later, she
A patient previously treated for bilateral breast cancer with mastectomy, radiation therapy and in remission on hormonal therapy for more than five years presented with abdominal symptoms from breast cancer relapse. She developed inappropriate polyuria and hypernatraemia, which responded to
Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a rare clinical condition, which is usually caused by neurohypophyseal or pituitary stalk infiltration in cancer patients.

An 83-year-old woman developed pituitary metastasis while being treated for metastatic breast cancer. She presented with visual disturbance and headache followed by thirst, nocturia and polyuria. A visual field defect was present. MRI revealed a sellar mass consistent with metastasis to the
Diabetes insipidus, resulting from metastatic involvement of the neurohypophysial system, is a rare complication of breast cancer. This review examined the clinical features, metastatic pattern, and radiological and postmortem findings of 39 breast cancer patients with this complication. All
Endocrinology was recognized as a new branch of biological science mainly as a result of events which took place between about 1890 and 1905, but ideas and discoveries dating from antiquity contributed to it also. Experiments supporting the concept of internal secretions by the testicles were

Summary: Multiple endocrine metastases are a rare but possible complication of lung adenocarcinoma (LAC). Pituitary metastasis is a rare condition with poor clinical expression. Diabetes insipidus (DI) is its most common presenting symptom. Here we report an
Metastases in the sellar region are rare and are frequently found incidentally or in necropsies. Only 7% are reported to be symptomatic. Diabetes insipidus, anterior pituitary dysfunction, visual field defects, headache/pain and ophthalmoplegia are the most commonly reported symptoms. We present the
We report a rare case of cisplatin-induced acute hyponatremia leading to a seizure and coma. A 66-year-old woman with breast cancer received adjuvant chemotherapy with docetaxel and cisplatin. She had no nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea during or after chemotherapy administration. She had an acute
We are reporting on a case of diabetes insipidus (DI) and anterior pituitary failure revealing a breast cancer metastasis. Ten years after being diagnosed with a unilateral breast cancer, the patient presented with asthenia, thirst, polyuria and nocturia improved by subcutaneous DDAVP. MRI revealed
BACKGROUND Patients with malignancies often have electrolyte abnormalities. We present a case of a patient with central diabetes insipidus secondary to metastatic pituitary invasion complicated by hypercalcemic nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. CASE REPORT We present a case of 40-year-old female with
Solitary metastatic pituitary stalk tumors account for approximately less than 1% of all pituitary gland tumors and present difficulties in clinical diagnosis because most of them are clinically silent and usually too small to cause radiological changes. With the advance of microsurgical techniques,
