Evidence suggesting a viral association is controversial, and epidemiological evidence has pointed to tobacco smoking as a potential etiologic factor.

Abstract
Background. Neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) is a rare malignancy of the nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses. The syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion (SIADH) has not been previously reported in association with this cancer.
Methods. We report a 30βyearβold woman with histologically confirmed neuroendocrine carcinoma who also demonstrated SIADH. After successful chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment for the neoplasm, her SIADH resolved. A literature search found eight cases of olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) associated with SIADH, four of which resolved after treatment of the malignancy.
Results. Treatment of the underlying malignancy resulted in the immediate resolution of the SIADH.
Conclusions. We report the first case of SIADH associated with NEC, which resolved after treatment of the cancer. A direct cause and effect between ONB/nasal NEC and SIADH has been established in previous reports. Β© 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck 26: 89β93, 2004
