Abstract
Clinical panhypopituitarism caused by cancer with parasellar metastasis and hypothalamic invasion is very rare. This report concerns a lung cancer patient who had solitary parasellar metastasis with diabetes insipidus and panhypopituitarism as an initial manifestation, which was documented by contrast-enhanced computed tomographic scan, Gd-DTPA-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging, and endocrinologic studies.
