Pituitary carcinoma is a extremely rare and is characterized by a very poor prognosis. Even if at diagnosis the presence of metastases is required to define a pituitary carcinoma, the lesion was almost invariably diagnosed first as a benign pituitary tumor, that after a variable period of latency, ranging from few months to many years, changed its ...

Pituitary enlargement mimicking pituitary tumor
Journal of Neurosurgery, 1985✓ Primary hypothyroidism can result in reactive enlargement of the pituitary gland which is indistinguishable from primary pituitary lesions on computerized tomography (CT) scans. The presenting symptoms may be due to pituitary gland enlargement, as in two of the three cases reported here.

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and immune-mediated inflammation.
New England Journal of Medicine, 1995Celsus described four of the five cardinal signs of inflammation 2000 years ago, and Eustachio discovered the adrenal glands almost 500 years ago, but not until 1936 did Selye note that in rats exposed to stressors, the adrenal glands were enlarged, and ...

Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 1997
Incidental pituitary masses are commonly found during CT and MR imaging performed for a variety of reasons. Screening for hormone oversecretion by these tumors seems to be warranted. Patients with lesions greater than 1 cm should be screened for hypopituitarism.

Pituitary function after pituitary apoplexy
The American Journal of Medicine, 1978Pituitary function was studied in nine patients who had recovered from pituitary apoplexy. All the patients recovered spontaneously; none required immediate surgery. Four of the patients had acromegaly, two had pituitary-dependent Cushing's syndrome, and a "functionless" pituitary adenoma was found in three. Low serum growth hormone concentrations were

Pituitary hyperplasia mimicking pituitary tumor
Surgical Neurology, 1994Reactive enlargement of the pituitary gland in primary end organ failure may be indistinguishable from primary pituitary lesions in clinical presentation and on magnetic resonance imaging. The diagnosis of pituitary hyperplasia secondary to end organ failure must be based on endocrinologic investigations.

Current Opinion in Oncology, 1994
This review focuses on recent developments in the treatment of pituitary adenomas. Current treatments include both transcranial and transsphenoidal surgery, the medical treatment specifically for endocrinopathies, and finally, radiation treatments including conventional radiation as well as stereotactic radiosurgery. All these modalities are reviewed.

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1998
This report describes the presentation, pre-operative findings, surgical management and follow-up results of 20 pediatric patients with pituitary adenomas. The most common presenting complaints encountered were, headache and decrease in visual acuity. Among the patients with endocrine problems, majority had frank Cushing's disease (30%). Nine patients (
