    A sphenoid mucocele mimicked a pituitary tumor, causing high prolactin levels in a patient. Surgical removal resolved the hyperprolactinemia, demonstrating the importance of considering uncommon diagnoses.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroendocrinology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Pituitary tumors are common causes of hyperprolactinemia.
    • Suprasellar lesions can compress the pituitary stalk, affecting prolactin secretion.

    Observation:

    • A 62-year-old man presented with hyperprolactinemia due to a suprasellar lesion.
    • The lesion was initially suspected to be a pituitary tumor.

    Findings:

    • Histopathological examination revealed the lesion to be a large sphenoid mucocele.
    • Transsphenoidal resection of the mucocele was performed successfully.

    Implications:

    • Sphenoid mucoceles can present as pituitary adenomas, necessitating differential diagnosis.
