Primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma or systemic non-Hodgkin lymphoma that infiltrates the CNS can cause central diabetes insipidus (CDI). Polyuria and polydipsia should raise the suspicion of CDI development in patients with lymphoma that infiltrates the CNS. CDI is effectively treated with desmopressin. However, careful monitoring of the patient's serum sodium, fluid intake, urine output, and weight is necessary because patients receiving desmopressin may develop hyponatremia, so they should be alert to recognize this side effect promptly. Moreover, CDI due to lymphoma can occasionally be reversible. Therefore, the dosage of desmopressin should be adapted during or after the treatment of lymphoma.
