Ganglioneuroblastoma of the thymus: an adult case with the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone.

Abstract:

:A 61-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of general fatigue. Laboratory examinations showed hyponatremia, plasma hypo-osmolarity, and inappropriate increased concentration of the plasma antidiuretic hormone (ADH) in the presence of concentrated urine. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass lesion in the anterior mediastinum. An extended thymectomy was performed under the diagnosis of thymoma with the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). Histologically the tumor was located in the thymic tissue and was diagnosed as ganglioneuroblastoma. Immunohistochemical studies showed the existence of ADH in the tumor cells. To the knowledge of the authors, this is the first case of ganglioneuroblastoma of the thymus with SIADH.
