Ectopic pituitary adenomas.

P Rasmussen, J Lindholm

    Clinical Endocrinology
    |July 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Ectopic pituitary adenomas, tumors found outside the sella turcica, can occur in various head locations. These rare tumors may retain endocrine function, impacting treatment outcomes after surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Pituitary adenomas are common intracranial tumors originating from the pituitary gland.
    • Ectopic pituitary adenomas are rare tumors found outside the normal pituitary fossa (sella turcica).

    Observation:

    • This report details four distinct cases of ectopic pituitary adenomas.
    • Tumor locations included the nasal cavity, sphenoid sinus, sphenoid wing, and petrous temporal bone.

    Findings:

    • Ectopic pituitary adenomas may arise from misplaced pituitary tissue during embryonic development.
    • Alternatively, they could result from the spread of adenoma cells during surgical procedures.
    • Some ectopic adenomas may retain functional endocrine activity.

    Implications:

    • The presence of ectopic pituitary adenomas presents unique diagnostic and surgical challenges.
    • Functional ectopic adenomas can lead to persistent hormonal imbalances even after pituitary gland removal.
    • Understanding these variations is crucial for comprehensive patient management and treatment planning.
