Clinical and genetic aspects of familial isolated pituitary adenomas
Pituitary adenomas represent a group of functionally diverse neoplasms with relatively high prevalence in the general population. Most occur sporadically, but inherited genetic predisposing factors are increasingly recognized. Familial isolated pituitary adenoma is a recently defined clinical entity, and is characterized by hereditary presentation of pituitary adenomas in the absence of clinica...
متن کاملDifferent Volumetric Measurement Methods for Pituitary Adenomas and Their Crucial Clinical Significance
Confirming the status of residual tumors is crucial. In stationary or spontaneous regression cases, early treatments are inappropriate. The long-used geometric calculation formula is 1/2 (length × width × height). However, it yields only rough estimates and is particularly unreliable for irregularly shaped masses. In our study, we attempted to propose a more accurate method. Between 2004 and 20...
متن کاملClinical characterization of familial isolated pituitary adenomas.

متن کاملPituitary adenomas and craniopharyngiomas.
Pituitary adenomas and craniopharyngiomas are similar in some aspects. Usually, they both are histologically benign, slow-growing intracranial tumors that arise in the sellar and parasellar areas, and tend to cause similar symptoms and signs, such as, but not limited to, progressive visual loss, progressive endocrine problems, and headache. They both are likely to have an excellent prognosis if...
متن کاملMicroscopic Transsphenoidal Surgery for Pituitary Adenomas in Children and Adolescents
Background & Aim: We described the presentation, management and subsequent treatment outcomes of children and adolescents diagnosed with a pituitary adenoma in a joint neuroendocrine setting followed up by a single service as well as assessing long-term outcomes in terms of endocrine status and neurology symptoms. Methods & Materials/Patients: A total of 21 participants with histologically v...
