Endonasal endoscopic removal of growth-hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas.

Trans-sphenoidal removal of pituitary tumours using the endonasal endoscopic technique, a novel application, is herein reported in five consecutive patients with growth-hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas seen at a teaching hospital in Hong Kong. All five patients demonstrated complete tumour removal on postoperative imaging and hormonal assessment following the procedure. Surgical morbidity a...

Differential expression of microRNAs in GH-secreting pituitary adenomas

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to (1) identify specific miRNAs in growth hormones (GH)-secreting pituitary adenomas; (2) determine the relationship between the expression of these miRNAs and tumor size, somatostatin analogs treatment, and responsiveness to somatostatin analogs (SSA). METHODS Fifteen GH-secreting adenomas patients were treated with lanreotide for 4 months before surg...

Expression of the antiapoptotic gene seladin-1 and octreotide-induced apoptosis in growth hormone-secreting and nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas.

CONTEXT Seladin-1 (from selective Alzheimer's disease indicator-1) is a recently discovered gene that has been found to be down-regulated in brain regions affected by Alzheimer's disease. Seladin-1 effectively protects neurons against beta-amyloid-mediated toxicity and prevents apoptosis via inhibition of the activation of caspase-3, a key mediator of the apoptotic cascade. Although seladin-1 i...

Prolactin Secreting Pituitary Adenomas

Correspondence to: Ioana Muntean, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Hyperprolactinemia has different etiologic forms, among them, the prolactin-secreting pituitary tumors represent an important entity. In our study, were analyzed the clinical aspects, diagnostic procedures and therapeutical approach of 31 cases of prolactinomas (F/M ratio = 27/4) hospitalized in the Clinic of Endocrinol...

Ectopic Adrenocorticotropic Hormone-Secreting Pituitary Adenomas: An Underestimated Entity.

BACKGROUND The diagnosis of Cushing disease is based on endocrinological pa-rameters, with no single test being specific. In some patients, dynamic thin-slice sellar magnetic resonance imaging fails to detect a pituitary tumor. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of ectopic pituitary adenoma in this situation. METHODS In a retrospective chart review, 5 patients (6...
