    Abstract:
    Pituitary tumours originating primarily from sites other than the sella turcica are rare. A case of an ectopic pituitary tumour in the region of the lesser wing of the sphenoid is reported. The patient presented with signs and symptoms of a progressive increase in intracranial pressure. CT scan appearances resembled those of a sphenoid wing meningioma. The vascular lesion was partially excised. Histology showed it to be a pituitary tumour.
