  • Title: An unusual cause of a sellar mass.
    Author: Mohammed AR, Amin P.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2010 Dec 20; 2010():. PubMed ID: 22802370.
    Abstract:
    A 57-year-old man presented with features suggestive of a non-functioning pituitary tumour. He underwent trans-sphenoidal resection of the tumour which was found to be a chordoma and not a pituitary adenoma. This case demonstrates that a chordoma may directly involve the sellar region and mimic a pituitary adenoma. We also discuss the aetiology, areas of involvement, management and prognosis of this unusual tumour.
