Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ADCC) is a pathology aff ecting exocrine glands originating primarily from the minor salivary glands. Although rare in incidence, but there are cases of seeding of cells of adenoid cystic carcinoma into intracranial sites via diff erent routes. We report of an intriguing case of remote metastasis of an intracranial tumor in the pituitary diagnosed as pituitary adenoma ...

Multi-secreting pituitary adenomas are relatively rare. The mixed somatotropic and corticotropic adenoma is very most widely described association that coupling hypersecretion of GH prolactin. We report the case a patient with bi-secreting ACTH. He was 28-year-old admitted for tumor syndrome, cushing syndrome. hormonal assessment found dependent ACTH other hypothalamohypophysial axes were witho...

Intra-cranial aneurysm can be incidental findings in patients with pituitary adenomas, and are usually located outside the pituitary region. However, the coexistence of intrasellar (not intracranial) aneurysms with pituitary adenomas is extremely rare. We report a patient with an incidental superior hypophygeal aneurysm embedded within a non-functional pituitary adenoma which was treated by tra...

Introduction: In Senegal, there is very little data on prolactinomas despite their negative impact couples fertility. Patients and methods: This was a multicentre, retrospective, descriptive, analytical study conducted from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2022 in the neurosurgery departments of Fann Principal hospitals endocrinology department Abass Ndao Hospital. Results: We included 89 patients...

STUDY of the syndromes associated with pituitary adenoma began with the description of acromegaly by Marie (1886), and many reports of the symptomatology of the tumour have since appeared (Cushing, 1912; Cairns, 1935; Henderson, 1939; Jefferson, 1940; Bakay, 1950; Younghusband, Horrax, Hurxthal, Hare, and Poppen, 1952; Nurnberger and Korey, 1953; Mogensen, 1957; Ray and Patterson, 1962; Poppen,...

Pituitary apoplexy is a rare event in which the pituitary gland undergoes infarction or haemorrhage, most commonly in the setting of an underlying tumour. We report on apoplexy of an undiagnosed pituitary adenoma precipitated both by physiological enlargement of the pituitary in pregnancy and prophylactic anticoagulation from a history of deep vein thrombosis. The haemorrhage was managed conser...

Pituitary apoplexy occurs after infarction of a non-neoplastic pituitary or sudden expansion of an adenoma following haemorrhage or infarction. It usually occurs spontaneously but can follow a number of causes including pituitary stimulation tests. Since this complication is potentially life-threatening, the benefits of subjecting patients who might have pituitary tumours to such tests should b...

Pituitary carcinoma is extremely rare and difficult to diagnose early. Here we present a case of highly suspected pituitary malignant adenoma with early chemotherapy and radiation. A 30-year-old woman was admitted for headache and impaired vision, MRI found a sellar mass. Since there was no disturbance in serum hormone levels, she was diagnosed with non-functioning pituitary adenoma before surg...

Title: Effectiveness of endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery using a neuronavigation: Clinical results of 178 pituitary adenomas Background: The present study assesses endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery using neuronavigation for pituitary adenoma. Methods and findings: Data were analyzed from 178 consecutive patients with pituitary adenomas who underwent endoscopic endonasal t...
