Abstract:
A case of a pituitary mass with clinical and MRI findings consistent with adenoma is presented. Transnasal transphenoidal excision biopsy showed it to be a pituitary tuberculoma. The patient was treated with antituberculous drugs, and a follow-up MRI 18 months later showed good response. MRI features and a review of published reports of the sellar tuberculoma are briefly discussed.
