title: [Inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion syndrome: a rare manifestation of prostatic adenocarcinoma].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Prostatic cancer can produce signs and symptoms by local growth, direct invasion or distant metastases. In rare occasions, these tumors can show a clinical variance due to trophic factors, biologically active, secreted in neoplastic environment but with systemic relevance. These syndromes are called paraneoplastic syndromes. This uncommon condition is described herein.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We report a case of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion as the presenting feature of advanced prostatic carcinoma. The pathogenic features, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects are reviewed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Although its frequency is low, we must consider prostatic carcinoma in patients with inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion syndrome. When the acute situation is resolved, hormonal treatment in disseminated carcinomas will return to normal the clinical and analytical parameters derived from this syndrome.
