Intrasellar Chondroma

Intrasellar trigeminal artery.

A case of pituitary macroadenoma is presented in which correct preoperative CT recognition of a persistent trigeminal artery piercing the dorsum sella prompted angiographic evaluation. MR was then used to further examine the intrasellar course of the anomalous vessel. A search of the English literature failed to disclose previous CT or MR demonstration of a persistent trigeminal artery. A 19-ye...

Chondroma of the bronchus.

[Intrasellar epidermoid cyst. Case report].

  A rare case of an intrasellar epidermoid cyst with ophthalmologic and endocrinological disorders is reported.  A 54-year-old male complained of decreased visual acuity and visual field defects. On admission, bitemporal hemianopsia and panhypopituitarism were revealed. Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a homogeneous low density area in the sellar region. The margin of the low...

An intrasellar rhabdomyosarcoma misdiagnosed as pituitary adenoma.

BACKGROUND Rhabdomyosarcoma is a malignant tumor of the skeletal muscle cells. Those tumors mainly affect children and arise in primitive fetal mesenchyme even at sites that do not contain skeletal muscle. However, very few intracranial rhabdomyosarcomas have been reported. No previous case of primary intrasellar rhabdomyosarcoma except for 1 case has been reported in the literature. CASE DES...
