A remarkable risk of endocrine immune-related adverse events (irAEs) during therapy with checkpoint inhibitors exsists. In order to ensure maximum efficiency in the recognition and treatment of endocrine iRAes related to immune checkpoint inhibitors, multidisciplinary management of oncological patients is critical. The pituitary syndrome in oncological patients who underwent immunotherapy represents a challenge in the differential diagnosis between pituitary metastasis and drug-induced hypophysitis. This is the first case, described in the literature of diabetes insipidus in a patient suffering from nivolumab-induced infundibulo-neurohypophysitis and anterohypophyseal metastasis.
