A patient with a ganglioglioma of the neurohypophysis developed the syndrome of inappropriate
antidiuretic hormone
secretion (SIADH). We present the case and describe its microscopic and ultrastructural features.
Malignant neoplasms
were thought to be the main cause of ectopic production of
vasopressin
. Head trauma, infection, or drugs, however, can also induce hypersecretion of
vasopressin
. Mechanical compression of the pituitary stalk can lead to an excessive
antidiuretic hormone
(
ADH
) release by affecting the inhibitory system. Primary neuroendocrine tumors of the hypothalamic-
neurohypophyseal
system are extremely rare. We demonstrate the presence of
vasopressin
in the tumor cells by immunocytochemistry. This represents the first case of SIADH caused by a tumor of the neurohypophysis.
