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.<br />Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared.<br /> (© BMJ Publishing Group Limited 2021.
