Hypopituitarism in a male due to giant cell granuloma of the anterior pituitary.

چکیده
It has been emphasized by Sheehan (1948) that the criterion for the diagnosis of hypopituitarism is destruction of the anterior pituitary, the most frequent cause being post-partum necrosis. Hypopituitarism in the male is relatively uncommon. Escamilla and Lisser (1942), in a survey of 101 " typical clinical cases with pathological verification," found only 35 in the male. The following case, which was fully investigated clinically, is reported because of the unusual pathological lesion in the pituitary.

Report of a Case of Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma in Anterior Maxillary Region
Background: Gingival overgrowth is a common clinical finding that most often represents reactive hyperplasia as a result of inflammatory gingival disease related to dental plaque. Irritation fibroma (IF), pyogenic granuloma (PG), peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF), and peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) are non-neoplastic enlargements of the gingiva that are categorized as reactive hyperpla...

A 38-year-old man presented with headache, fever, and double vision associated with right abducens nerve paresis. He had neither nuchal rigidity nor visual field defect. Laboratory data revealed elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), eosinophilia, and lymphocytic pleocytosis in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Provocation tests of pituitary hormones showed partial hypopituitarism. Magneti...
متن کاملA case of granulomatous hypophysitis with hypopituitarism and minimal pituitary enlargement.
A case of hypopituitarism and minimal sellar enlargement was found at hypophysectomy to have a giant cell granuloma of the pituitary. The clinical and histopathological features of this rare entity are reviewed. It is proposed that hypopituitarism which is out of proportion to minimal sellar enlargement may be a suggestive clue to the preoperative diagnosis of giant cell granulous which normall...
