Syndrome of inappropriate anti-diuretic hormone release (SIDAH) is a condition characterized by an unregulated release of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) resulting in increased water retention and decreased plasma osmolarity. Without regulation, ADH release will cause a significant decrease in plasma sodium concentration and can present with cramping, nausea, vomiting, and in severe cases, seizures, and potentially falling into a comatose state. The causes of SIADH are variable and range from infections, some malignancies to some medications.

Chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) is a rare myeloproliferative neoplasm, which is characterized by sustained peripheral leukocytosis with neutrophilia, hepatosplenomegaly, and hypercellularity of the bone marrow, with less than 5% myeloblasts along with normal neutrophil maturation and no dysplasia. In 2016, World Health Organization (WHO) included activating mutations in the gene for colony-stimulating factor 3 receptor (CSF3R) as one of the diagnostic criteria with CSF3RT618I being the most common mutation. We report a rare case of CNL (JAK2V617F negative, BCR-ABL1 negative, CSF3RT618I positive) in an elderly female who had an aggressive clinical course of the disease.
