Malignant germ cell tumour of pituitary gland (Q105037)
From determinar.ia.br - Determine suas informações
The vast majority of neoplasms located in the sella turcica are benign pituitary adenomas derived from adenohypophysial cells. In many cases, they can be succesfully removed by minimally invasive transphenoidal surgery. However, their biology is complex and they can cause a variety of endocrine syndromes and disorders. The immunohistochemical characterization of functionnal pituitary adenomas is mandatory for patient management, although it does not necessarily predict systemic hormone levels.
