A 64-year-old male developed symptomatic recurrent syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion in association with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue. His SIADH was managed successfully with saline infusion, frusemide, and maintenance treatment with demeclocycline.
From 1976 to 1980,18 of the 250 patients (7%) seen with small cell carcinoma of the lung had clinically evident inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Hyponatremia was usually severe (1 16 f 7 meq/l), and eight patients showed symptoms of water intoxication at the time of diagnosis.
