Ectopic macroprolactinoma mimicking a chordoma: a case report.
A tumoral mass at the clivus is uncommon and its differential diagnosis presents a challenge, since many different tumours may result in a similar radiological image. A chordoma is the most common of these tumours and represents 40% of all cases. Less common, in decreasing order of frequency, are meningiomas, astrocytoma, germinal cell tumours, lymphoma, metastases and, finally, pituitary adeno...
متن کاملبررسی ایمونوهیستوشیمی آدنوم‌های هیپوفیز و مقایسه آن با تظاهرات بالینی در 102 نمونه بلوک پارافینی
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 ...
متن کاملProgression of an Invasive ACTH Pituitary Macroadenoma with Cushing's Disease to Pituitary Carcinoma
Pituitary carcinomas are very rare tumors that in most cases produce prolactin and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). It is a challenge to diagnosis of a pituitary carcinoma before disclosed symptomatic metastasis. We report the case of a female patient with Cushing's disease who underwent three transsphenoidal surgeries, with pathological findings of common ACTH pituitary adenoma including Ki...
متن کاملCoexisting Pituitary Adenoma and Suprasellar Meningioma: A Coincidence or Causation Effect? Report of Two Cases and Review of Literature
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 ...
متن کاملSomatostatin receptor scintigraphy: its value in tumor localization in patients with Cushing's syndrome caused by ectopic corticotropin or corticotropin-releasing hormone secretion.
PURPOSE To assess the feasibility of somatostatin receptor scintigraphy for patients with Cushing's syndrome caused by tumors secreting ectopic corticotropin or corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). PATIENTS AND METHODS Ten patients with Cushing's syndrome, nine with ectopic corticotropin-secreting tumors and one with a CRH-secreting tumor, were consecutively studied. For comparison purposes...
