Pituitary abscesses, rare lesions, may be divided into primary and secondary types. A 26-years-old woman presented with decreasing vision, and headache. Magnetic resonance images (MRI) was suggestive of a sellar tumour. She underwent a transsphenoidal approach to the pituitary gland.

متن کاملLymphocitic infundibulo-neurohypophysitis mimicking a pituitary adenoma
A rare case of infundibulo-neurohypophysitis mimicking a pituitary adenoma is presented. A 69-years-old female patient developed polyuria and polydipsia. Laboratory analysis revealed central diabetes insipidus. No hormonal abnormalities. Cranial-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a left sided mass in the adenohypophysis presuming a pituitary adenoma. The mass had contact to both internal c...

A 37-year-old woman presenting with galactorrhea and menstrual irregularity due to an intrasellar lesion of the pituitary gland underwent transsphenoidal surgery for histopathological diagnosis and removal of the lesion. Histological findings were consistent with a tuberculoma. The post-operative course was satisfactory with resolution of galactorrhea and improved ovulatory cycle. The patient w...
