Pituitary Adenomas – Clinico-Pathological, Immunohistochemical and Ultrastructural Study
Pituitary adenomas (PA) constitute about 10% of intracranial neoplasm. Most of them have its origin in adenohypophysis (Cury et al., 2009; Rosai, 1989).

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...
