  • Title: Lymphocytic hypophysitis: spontaneous resolution on MRI with progression of endocrine defect.
    Author: Krimholtz MJ, Thomas S, Bingham J, Powrie JK.
    Journal: Int J Clin Pract; 2001 Jun; 55(5):339-40. PubMed ID: 11452686.
    Abstract:
    Lymphocytic hypophysitis is an uncommon condition that typically occurs during the last trimester of pregnancy or in the postpartum period. Presentation is of an anterior pituitary mass with varying degrees of pituitary dysfunction. We present a case in which there was dramatic resolution of the pituitary lesion on sequential MRI scanning. Despite this apparent resolution, however, the patient continues to have significant pituitary dysfunction.
