Abstract:
We describe the case of a gentleman who initially presented with isolated cranial diabetes insipidus and has subsequently developed progressive anterior pituitary failure. In addition, he has been found to have evidence of mesenteric fibrosis and primary sclerosing cholangitis. We suggest that his pituitary disease may also be caused by progressive fibrosis and that these separate pathological entities may be linked by the unifying diagnosis of progressive multifocal fibrosclerosis, a rare fibro-inflammatory process involving multiple organ systems.
