Abstract
In a 59-year-old woman suffering from the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, a small cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix was detected. The tumor was immunoreactive for antidiuretic hormone as well as for neuron specific enolase, chromogranin A, and Leu-7, but not vimentin. Electron microscopic examination of the tumor revealed neurosecretory granules. To our knowledge, this is only the second report of the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion with small cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix and the first one confirmed immunohistopathologically.
