A Unique Case of Central Hypopituitarism and Central Diabetes Insipidus Caused By Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma
ABSTRACT: Objective: To present the case of a 39-year-old male admitted to the hospital with diabetes insipidus as a sequela of a previously undiagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. This case is unique, as the patient's disease was determined to be an infiltrative malignancy affecting the pit...
