Is technetium-99m-MIBI taken up by the normal pituitary gland? A comparison of normal pituitary glands and pituitary adenomas.
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the behavioral uptake of a normal gland and a pituitary adenoma and to assess the ability to diagnose pituitary adenoma by means of technetium-99m-hexakis-2-methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile (MIBI) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). METHODS The study included 15 patients with pituitary adenomas (mean age = 44.0 years, range 19-63) and 15...

Background & Aim: We described the presentation, management and subsequent treatment outcomes of children and adolescents diagnosed with a pituitary adenoma in a joint neuroendocrine setting followed up by a single service as well as assessing long-term outcomes in terms of endocrine status and neurology symptoms. Methods & Materials/Patients: A total of 21 participants with histologically v...
متن کاملMicroscopic surgery for pituitary adenomas to preserve the pituitary gland and stalk.
Surgery is the primary treatment of choice for all symptomatic pituitary adenomas except prolactinomas. Common postoperative complications include endocrinopathies, vision impairment and cerebrospinal fluid leak. The present study assessed 153 continuous microscopic surgeries for pituitary adenomas performed by an author of the present study between 2010 to 2014. Patients underwent either trans...
متن کاملErythropoietin promotes the growth of pituitary adenomas by enhancing angiogenesis
rhEPO is frequently used in clinical practice to treat anemia. However, recently rhEPO has been reported to accelerate tumor growth, progression and metastasis. Many pituitary adenoma patients, particularly those with macroprolactinomas, tend to have anemia and may need rhEPO therapy. To date, whether rhEPO has deleterious effects on pituitary ade...
