Panhypopituitarism Due to Multiple Myeloma

Authors: JOHN A. WOLFE, MD

Abstract

INFILTRATION OF THE PIUTARY GLAND and or the hypothalamus by neoplastic cells in multiple myeloma is unusual though scattered reports appeal in the literature, usually as an incidental postmortem finding1 or associated with diabetes insipidus.2 Other manifestations of pituitary insufficiency are uncommon. This report concerns a patient in whom panhypopituitarism was suspected antemortem. and whose life was prolonged by replacement therapy.
