  • Title: Intrasellar tuberculoma--a difficult diagnosis.
    Author: Páramo C, de la Fuente J, Nodar A, Miramontes S, Quintela JL, García-Mayor RV.
    Journal: Infection; 2002 Jan; 30(1):35-7. PubMed ID: 11876514.
    Abstract:
    Tuberculosis is an exceptional cause of intrasellar mass lesion and diagnosis is usually established after histological examination following surgery. We report a 32-year-old woman with headache and amenorrhea, analytical features of hypopituitarism and an intrasellar mass lesion in radiological studies. A transsphenoidal approach was performed and tissue examination revealed pituitary tuberculoma. Additionally, we review the previously reported cases.
