Metastases to the pituitary gland are rare; cancers that most commonly metastasize to the pituitary are breast and lung cancers. No specific computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging features reliably distinguish primary pituitary masses from metastases. A combination of a detailed clinical assessment together with specialist endocrine and neuroradiology support is essential to make the...

Two cases of hepatocellular carcinoma, with metastases to the skull base, pituitary gland, sphenoid sinus, and cavernous sinus are reported. Patients presented with diplopia, retro-orbital headache, and multiple cranial nerves palsies. Pituitary metastases may require surgery as palliative treatment, and for the confirmation of histology. One of the current cases was diagnosed with hepatocellul...

We report here the extremely rare case of a twenty-eight year-old woman with a metastatic ACTH-secreting pituitary carcinoma. This is the thirteenth case to be described in the literature. Ten years ago Cushing's disease was diagnosed. After pituitary surgery, then bilateral adrenalectomy, a Nelson's syndrome appeared. The particularly extensive pituitary secondary development led to several pi...

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 ...
