Abstract: SIADH is more commonly associated with small cell lung cancer but has also been associated with other malignancies such as oropharyngeal, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, endocrine, lymphomas, and sarcomas. There have been few reports of small cell carcinoma of the cervix complicated by SIADH; however, not many cases are associated with squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. We present a case of a patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix with a paraneoplastic syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone. The pathophysiology, clinical picture, and treatment are also discussed.<br />Competing Interests: Conflict of Interest The authors report no conflict of interest. Ethical review is not necessary, because this is a case report. This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.<br /> (© 2022 Greater Baltimore Medical Center.)
