Rathke Cleft Cyst with a Coexisting Gonadotropin Producing Pituitary Adenoma
Rathke cleft cyst is thought to arise from incomplete obliteration of the lumen of Rathke pouch. The cells of the anterior pituitary lobe, from which pituitary adenomas develop, are also derived from the cells of Rathke pouch. Although Rathke cleft cyst and pituitary adenoma have a shared ancestry, they rarely occur coincidentally. Rathke cleft cysts have been found incidentally in 11% 33% of p...
متن کاملCoexisting Rathke Cleft Cyst and Pituitary Adenoma Presenting with Pituitary Apoplexy: Report of Two Cases
