  • Title: Lymphocytic hypophysitis mimicking pituitary macroadenoma.
    Author: Skandarajah A, Ng WH, Gonzales M, Kaye AH.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2002 Sep; 9(5):586-9. PubMed ID: 12383423.
    Abstract:
    Lymphocytic hypophysitis is an uncommon disease with a variable presentation and unclear pathophysiology. We present the case of a 30 year old woman who presented with features typical of a pituitary macroadenoma. She underwent a transphenoidal resection of the mass and histopathological examination revealed lymphocytic hypophysitis. This case illustrates the difficulty in differentiating pituitary macroadenoma and lymphocytic hypophysitis and the variable presentations of lymphocytic hypophysitis.
