Giant pituitary adenoma [PDF]

BMJ Case Reports, 2014
A healthy 68-year-old man presented in the emergency room with a sudden episode of headache and vomiting together with disequilibrium and crural paresis. The laboratory evaluation revealed hyponatraemia (Na+115 mEq/L). Head MRI demonstrated a giant 40×25×31 mm pituitary lesion (figures 1 and 2). Laboratory studies revealed growth hormone (GH) 0.1 ng/mL

Development of a Nomogram With Alternative Splicing Signatures for Predicting the Prognosis of Glioblastoma: A Study Based on Large-Scale Sequencing Data

Frontiers in Oncology, 2020
Purpose: Alternative splicing (AS) was reported to play a vital role in development and progression of glioblastoma (GBM), the most common and fatal brain tumor. Systematic analysis of survival-associated AS event profiles and prognostic prediction model

Coexistence of Pituitary Adenoma and Primary Pituitary Lymphoma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Frontiers in Surgery, 2022
In the pituitary sella, the coexistence of pituitary adenoma and primary pituitary lymphoma is exceedingly rare. Thus far, only six cases have been reported. Here, we present the seventh case of coexisting pituitary adenoma and primary pituitary lymphoma,

Familial pituitary adenomas [PDF]

Journal of Internal Medicine, 2009
Abstract.The majority of pituitary adenomas occur sporadically, however, about 5% of all cases occur in a familial setting, of which over half are due to multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN‐1) and Carney’s complex (CNC). Since the late 1990s we have described non‐MEN1/CNC familial pituitary tumours that include all tumour phenotypes, a condition ...

Identifying Facial Features and Predicting Patients of Acromegaly Using Three-Dimensional Imaging Techniques and Machine Learning

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
Objective: Facial changes are common among nearly all acromegalic patients. As they develop slowly, patients often fail to notice such changes before they become obvious. Consequently, diagnosis and treatment are often delayed.

Diagnosis of Pituitary Adenoma Biopsies by Ultrahigh Resolution Optical Coherence Tomography Using Neuronal Networks

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
ObjectiveDespite advancements of intraoperative visualization, the difficulty to visually distinguish adenoma from adjacent pituitary gland due to textural similarities may lead to incomplete adenoma resection or impairment of pituitary function. The aim

Preoperative Fasting C-Peptide Acts as a Promising Predictor of Improved Glucose Tolerance in Patients With Acromegaly After Transsphenoidal Surgery: A Retrospective Study of 64 Cases From a Large Pituitary Center in China

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
Purpose: Abnormal glucose metabolism is one of the most frequent acromegaly complications. Improvement of glucose metabolism can be observed only in half of acromegaly patients after surgery.

Reversibility of Cardiac Involvement in Acromegaly Patients After Surgery: 12-Month Follow-up Using Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
PurposeCardiac comorbidity is one of the leading causes of death among acromegaly patients. We aimed to investigate the reversibility of acromegalic cardiac involvement after surgical treatment using the gold standard method, cardiovascular magnetic ...
