Case report of vasopressin-responsive diabetes insipidus associated with chronic myelogenous leukemia.
A sixth case in the world literature is reported of a 59-year-old male with diabetes insipidus (DI) associated with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). The patient is unique in that his CML was diagnosed 10 years before he presented with vasopressin-responsive DI. Radiation to the central nervous system failed to reduce the daily requirement of his need for vasopressin.
