چکیده

It is generally accepted that the human pituitary chromophobe adenoma has no secretory function because of its exhibiting no distinctly stained granules in the light microscopy. On the other hand, the recent electron microscopic studies have proved the presence of the secretory granules in this tumor (CARDELL and KNIGHTON, 1966; FUKUMITSU, 1964; LUSE, 1962; GUSEK, 1962; SCHELIN, 1962; WECHSLER and HossMANN, 1965). These findings suggest that the chromophobe adenoma may carry on a secretory production in some way, and that this tumor may be divided into some subtypes according to the morphology of the secretory granules contained. The purpose of the present study is to verify the secretory activity in this tumor by examining its fine structure with an electron microscope. Furthermore, in this

Routine classification of pituitary adenomas is not appropriate for diagnosis of adenoma type and in some cases there is inconcordance between clinical presentation and histological type of adenoma. The aim of this study was to determine the type of adenoma secretion based on immunohistochemical staining. 102 paraffin blocked specimens of pituitary adenoma were stained with hormone ...

Endoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Approach for Pituitary Adenomas: a Prospective Review of Our Early Experience

Background & Aim: Pituitary adenomas are a part of a dissimilar group of benign neoplasms. The development of endoscopic techniques for surgery of paranasal sinuses has increased the opportunity for an endoscopic approach with regard to the pituitary gland. Minimally invasive endoscopic pituitary surgery, in turn, permits a more thorough tumor resection and fewer associated surgical complicatio...

Background and Importance: The coexistence of pituitary adenoma and another type of brain tumor is a very rare clinical scenario. Even though such a presentation can be an incidental event but the possible pathogenesis of coexistence of different lesions in the sella and suprasellar region has not yet been elucidated. Case Presentation: Two cases of concomitant sellar and suprasellar region ...

Commentary on “Co-Occurrence of Pituitary Adenoma With Suprasellar and Olfactory Groove Meningiomas”

Recently, Basic and Clinical Neuroscience published an article by Lim et al. (2016)  entitled Co-occurence of Pituitary Adenoma with Suprasellar and Olfactory Groove Meningiomas. They claimed it as the first case of co-occurence of these two malignancies. However, to our knowledge, this is not the first case reported in this regard. We reported the same case scenario in a 61-year-old woman...
