  • Title: Lymphocytic adenohypophysitis: report of two cases.
    Author: Miura M, Ushio Y, Kuratsu J, Ikeda J, Kai Y, Yamashiro S.
    Journal: Surg Neurol; 1989 Dec; 32(6):463-70. PubMed ID: 2700055.
    Abstract:
    Two women with lymphocytic adenohypophysitis not related to pregnancy are reported on. In obtaining a differential diagnosis of lymphocytic adenohypophysitis preoperatively, it is useful to note swelling of the anterior hypophyseal tissue and the existence of a posterior pituitary lobe on sagittal sections of magnetic resonance imaging scans. Hypofunction of the anterior hypophyseal gland is more severe in lymphocytic adenohypophysitis than in pituitary adenomas. Marked adhesion of fibrotic pituitary capsule to the dura is a characteristic observation during surgery for lymphocytic adenohypophysitis.
