Hyponatremia associated with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
An association between laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and inappropriate antidiuresis is described in a 76-year-old man. Even though all accepted diagnostic criteria for the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone were fulfilled, abnormal levels of antidiuretic hormone were not demonstrated, leaving the mechanisms of this hyponatremia unclear.
