HYPONATREMIA AS A FIRST SIGN OF SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

A 62-year- old woman with a history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus was admitted to the emergency department because of headache, weakness, insomnia and impaired balance. Severe hyponatremia was detected and patient was admitted to the hospital. The drugs that could lead to hyponatremia were stopped. Additional investigations were made because of the persistence of hyponatremia. After the diagnosis of inappropriate ADH syndrome computed tomography of the chest was performed which revealed a pulmonary mass. The histopathological test revealed small-cell carcinoma of the lung.
