  • Title: Medullary thyroid carcinoma metastatic to the pituitary gland: an unusual site of metastasis.
    Author: Williams MD, Asa SL, Fuller GN.
    Journal: Ann Diagn Pathol; 2008 Jun; 12(3):199-203. PubMed ID: 18486896.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of metastatic medullary thyroid carcinoma involving the pituitary gland of a 23-year-old woman with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2b who presented with diabetes insipidus and visual loss. The diagnostic features, including cytomorphology and immunohistochemistry, used to differentiate pituitary adenoma from metastatic medullary carcinoma are discussed. Pituitary metastases and tumor-to-tumor metastases in this region are also highlighted.
