[Diabetes insipidus as a sequela of metastatic breast carcinoma]

Hypothalamo-hypophyseal metastases are still a relatively unfamiliar entity. Mostly they are confirmed by autopsy. Rear clinical manifestations are presented by diabetes insipidus. In general, patients with endocrine breast carcinoma metastases are young, premenopausal women, with great tumour burden and widely disseminated tumor. We report 54-year-old woman with diabetes insipidus caused by solitary breast carcinoma metastasis, eight years after primary tumour was diagnosed. The operative and radiation therapy were effective.
