Abstract
We report a patient with diabetes insipidus, whose sella magnetic reso nance imaging revealed a normal hypophysis with a focal nodular thicke ning of the infundibulum and lack of hyperintense signal of the normal neurohypophysis. The histopathologic examination of the lesion showed a lymphoplasmacytic, predominantly lymphocytic, infiltration. A diagn osis of lymphocytic infundibuloneurohypophysitis was made, by the excl usion of other infiltrative, granulomatous diseases. (J. Endocrinol.
