摘要：

We describe a 60-year-old female patient, with typical clinical and laboratory features of diabetes insipidus, treated with hormonal replacement. Subsequent investigations including head MR and total body CT imaging showed a lung adenocarcinoma with the pituitary gland as the only site of dissemination. The metastatic nature of the sellar lesion was confirmed by its rapid growth during chemotherapy along with progression of the primary tumor. Only a few similar cases have been reported in the literature. We discuss clinical and imaging features of pituitary metastases, usually diagnosed at autopsy or in advanced stages of neoplastic disease. Eur. J. Oncol., 16 (1), 55-58, 2011
