introduction: the co-existence of pituitary adenoma and meningioma is extremely rare. it is even rarer in patients with no previous known risk factors for either tumour. here, we present a case of synchronous non-functioning pituitary adenoma with suprasellar and olfactory groove meningiomas in a patient without previous irradiation. methods: the tumours were diagnosed on mri in the 65-year-old...

Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNET) are originating from adenohypophyseal cells. Although benign, PitNETs sometimes exhibit aggressive biological behavior that was the inspiration for change of old and traditional name "pituitary adenomas". Current standard in PitNET diagnostics, according to WHO criteria, is immunohistochemistry, with application antibodies adenohypophysis hormones transc...

Background and Aim: Over the past 2 decades, endoscopy has become an integral part of the surgical repertoire for pituitary procedures and over the past several decades, the endoscopic endonasal trans sphenoidal approach (EETA) has gradually become an accepted option for pituitary tumors with intra-,supra-,and para-sellar location and extension, because of its minimal invasiveness and high effi...

Pituitary tumors are benign that occur in the pituitary gland with a presentation of 10% all intracranial tumors. If size tumor is > 1 cm, called macroadenoma, large will have mass effect so there an emphasis on area and its surroundings. This manifest hyposecretion hormones produced pituitary. We report case 57-year-old male complaints decreased vision since 3.5 months. The patient had prev...

Pituitary tumors, the most common intracranial tumors, lead to serious morbidity through the inappropriate secretion of pituitary hormones. The anomalous expression of microRNAs (miRNAs), which have a crucial status in the development and function of pituitary gland, promotes the tumorigenesis of hypothalamic-pituitary axis-related pituitary tumors. This mainly leads to alterations in the funct...

Pituitary tumors are discovered either incidentally by imaging studies (incidentalomas) or via evaluation of certain clinical symptoms (symptomatic tumors). In this study, we first surveyed patients with incidentalomas who underwent surgery. Cases included 62.3% non-functioning adenomas (NFPAs), 14.5% functioning adenomas, and 13.8% Rathke’s cleft cysts. Next, compared the features surgical out...
