title: [Central diabetes insipidus caused by pituitary metastasis of lung cancer].
abstract: A 53-year-old man admitted for thirst, polyposia, and polyuria. Large cell lung cancer T3N2M1 (Stage IV), and central diabetes insipidus caused by pituitary metastasis of lung cancer, were diagnosed. We gave him desmopressin acetate, and chemotherapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin. But pituitary metastasis increased and invaded the hypothalamus. After irradiation of the pituitary and hypothalamus, metastatic focus diminished and desmopressin acetate was tapered.
