ACTH silent adenoma shrinking under cabergoline.
OBJECTIVES The authors present a case report that proposes the use of cabergoline treatment in silent ACTH adenoma, an unusual member of the heterogeneous group of the so-called clinically non-functioning pituitary adenomas. DESIGN Following the clinical and radiological improvement of a recurrent silent ACTH adenoma in a 77-year-old patient treated with cabergoline (0.5 mg every 2 days for 2...
متن کاملSilent ACTH cell adenoma in coincidence with granulomatous hypophysitis--a case report.
A 44-year-old male suffered from an inactive pituitary adenoma measuring 20mm in computed tomography (CT) scan and nuclear magnetic resonance tomography (NMR). The tumor was surgically resected via the transnasal-transsphenoidal route. Surgical specimens revealed a typical, sparsely granulated adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) cell adenoma, but also a granulomatous inflammation mostly in the p...
متن کاملSphenoidal Ectopic ACTH-secreting Pituitary Adenoma
INTRODUCTION Ectopic pituitary adenoma is defined as adenoma that occurs outside the sella without any continuity with the normal pituitary gland [1]. Since its description for the first time in 1909 by Erdheim in the vomero-sphenoidal region, about 75 cases have been reported in literature [2-12]. Sphenoid sinus followed by the suprasellar region remains the most common site for these adenomas...
متن کاملAn ACTH-secreting pituitary adenoma within the sphenoid sinus.
A 68-year-old woman developed Cushingoid features three months prior to admission. She was found to have a markedly elevated plasma ACTH-cortisol level. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a mass in the left sphenoidal sinus, which had become enlarged to a point where it could not be removed by transsphenoidal surgery. We decided to proceed with radiation therapy to shrink the tumor. Howe...
متن کاملThyrotropin secreting pituitary adenoma accompanying a silent somatotropinoma.
Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) secreting pituitary adenomas are rare tumors manifested as hyperthyroidism with goiter in the presence of elevated TSH. We present a case with pituitary adenoma secreting both TSH and growth hormone (GH) with the prominent clinical findings of hyperthyroidism but without clinical findings of acromegaly. Pituitary magnetic resonance imaging revealed a macroadeno...
