Abstract

Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) is commonly associated with osmotic stress and rapid correction of hyponatraemia. It has rarely been reported in conjunction with malignancies. We report a case where CPM was not only associated with a new diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma but was also a key presenting feature.
