  • Title: Panhypopituitarism as first manifestation of a lung cancer.
    Author: Guillén Ponce C, Garrido López MP, Molina Garrido MJ, Muñoz Molina G, Carrato A.
    Journal: Clin Transl Oncol; 2007 Jan; 9(1):53-5. PubMed ID: 17272231.
    Abstract:
    Pituitary metastases of solid tumours are infrequent, specially as a first manifestation. When they happen, they are usually due to breast or lung cancer and are asymptomatic or produce diabetes insipidus. It is very strange that they produce hormonal deficiency. We present a case report of a bronchogenic adenocarcinoma in a 65-year-old man which began with panhypopituitarism, diabetes insipidus and visual alterations. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large sellar mass, with clivus infiltration and invading the right cavernous sinus. The biopsy result was adenocarcinoma metastases from lung cancer.
