Abstract
A 59-year-old man with inoperable bronchogenic carcinoma manifested diabetes insipidus and progressive impairment of adenohypophyseal function. Postmortem examination revealed bilaterally symmetrical localized hemorrhagic hypothalamic lesions while the adenohypophysis was virtually intact. This observation confirms findings from animal experiments and clinical impressions which indicate control of the adenohypophyseal function by the hypothalamus.
