Neoplastic
The most common of all causes of SIADH is a small cell carcinoma of the lung.
Other neoplasms that may cause SIADH include:
- carcinomas of the pancreas, duodenum, bladder, prostate ureter
- thymoma
- mesothelioma
- myeloproliferative diseases
- lymphoma
- Ewing's sarcoma
- bronchial carcinoid
It is probably true to say that nearly every sort of tumour may cause SIADH; an obscure exception, which would be irrelevant except that it is beloved of multiple choice setters, is non-metastatic papillary carcinoma of the thyroid.
