Syndrome of inadequate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) is a condition that can be associated to various sort of lung diseases.In this report we present a clinical case where a SIADH associated to pulmonary thromboembolism was documented. As long as we know, this association has not been described yet in the literature, and we hypothesized that lung cytokines released due to pulmonary necrosis could be the main stimulus to vasopressin secretion in this entity.Conclusion: Pulmonary thromboembolism should be incorporated in the list of lung causes of SIADH.
