Intrasellar tuberculomas, rare pituitary lesions, often mimic pituitary adenomas clinically and radiologically. Prompt antituberculous treatment leads to excellent clinical and radiological recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Intrasellar tuberculomas are rare, with few reported clinical cases.
  • Distinguishing them from pituitary adenomas is diagnostically challenging.

Observation:

  • Five patients with biopsy-proven intrasellar tuberculoma and suprasellar extension were analyzed.
  • Clinical presentations included headaches, hypopituitarism, and one case mimicking subarachnoid hemorrhage.
  • Radiological findings on CT showed hyperdense sellar masses with suprasellar extension.

Findings:

  • Four patients were initially misdiagnosed as pituitary adenomas.
  • All patients exhibited some degree of hypopituitarism.
  • Transsphenoidal surgery revealed findings distinct from pituitary adenomas.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of sellar masses.
  • Early diagnosis and antituberculous treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes.
  • This study underscores the need for advanced diagnostic techniques to differentiate tuberculomas from adenomas.
