Plasma Pituitary Prohormones and Pituitary Adenoma Size in Cushing’s Disease
Background: Hyperadrenocorticism in dogs is among the three most common endocrinopathies of dogs. Approximately 85% of dogs with spontaneous hyperadrenocorticism have pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism (PDH). Pituitarydependent hyperadrenocorticism is due to an excessive secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), usually by a pituitary microadenoma. However, up to 30% of PDH cases h...
متن کاملAn 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...
متن کاملAdult pituitary stem cells: from pituitary plasticity to adenoma development.
The pituitary needs high plasticity of the hormone-producing cell compartment to generate the continuously changing hormonal signals that govern the key physiological processes it is involved in, as well as homeostatic cell turnover. However, the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. It was proposed that adult stem cells direct the generation of newborn cells with a hormonal phenot...
متن کاملAbscess formation in a pituitary adenoma.
The case described here is of particular interest for three reasons. First, suppuration within the sella turcica itself is an uncommon phenomenon, and suppuration within the substance of a pituitary adenoma must be extremely rare; I can find no reference to pyogenic abscess formation in a pituitary adenoma in an extensive search of the literature over the past 20 years. Secondly, in this case n...
متن کاملHydrocephalus complicating pituitary adenoma.
Hydrocephalus complicated the clinical course of four patients with pituitary adenoma. In three it was noted late, long after surgical intervention and radiotherapy had been carried out. In one patient, hydrocephalus was part of the presenting syndrome. The differential diagnosis of hypopituitarism and occult hydrocephalus is difficult. The possibility of hydrocephalus complicating a pituitary ...
