A number of milestones have marked the development of transsphenoidal pituitary tumor resection this century. The introduction of headlamp illumination, followed by the use of the operating microscope and fluoroscopy have allowed neurosurgeons to perform this surgery in a safe and highly effective manner. With the aid of a case report, we describe the incorporation of endoscopic techniques in pituitary tumor resection. The technique described is minimally invasive, avoiding septal dissection and allowing unsurpassed, unobstructed, and panoramic visualization of the region of interest to the surgeon and operative team.

Daily Pain

For twelve years, the subject of this report, a 38-year-old man, presented a clinical condition compatible with the SUNCT (short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing) syndrome. He presented a stabbing and intense daily pain located in the left pre-auricular and temporal regions. Each of these intense pain attacks lasted around one minute and presented a frequency of two to eight times per day. The pain was associated with ipsilateral lacrimation, conjunctival injection and rhinorrhea. MRI revealed a pituitary tumor with little suprasellar extent. The subject’s serial assays of prolactin, GH, TSH and ACTH were within normal levels. Following transsphenoidal hypophysectomy, with complete removal of the tumor, the subject no more presented pain. The pathological diagnosis was non-secreting adenoma. Fourteen months after the surgery, he remains symptom-free.

Abstract A patient with galactorrhea. amenorrhea, and hyperprolactinemia caused by a dermoid tumor of the pituitary gland is presented. The patient had a prior history of an ovarian dermoid tumor. The pathology of dermoid tumors is discussed along with the management of pituitary tumor-associated hyperprolactinemia. This is the first reported case of an intracranial and an ovarian dermoid tumor occurring in the same patient.

Nowadays, neither imaging nor pathology evaluation can accurately predict the aggressiveness or treatment resistance of pituitary tumors at diagnosis. However, histological examination can provide useful information that might alert clinicians about the nature of pituitary tumors. Here, we describe our experience with a silent corticothoph tumor with unusual pathology, aggressive local invasion and metastatic dissemination during follow-up. We present a 61-year-old man with third cranial nerve palsy at presentation due to invasive pituitary tumor. Subtotal surgical approach was performed with a diagnosis of silent corticotroph tumor but with unusual histological features (nuclear atypia, frequent multinucleation and mitotic figures, and Ki-67 labeling index up to 70%). After a rapid regrowth, a second surgical intervention achieved successful debulking. Temozolomide treatment followed by stereotactic fractionated radiotherapy associated with temozolomide successfully managed the primary tumor. However, sacral metastasis showed up 6 months after radiotherapy treatment. Due to aggressive distant behavior, a carboplatine-etoposide scheme was decided but the patient died of urinary sepsis 31 months after the first symptoms. Our case report shows how the presentation of a pituitary tumor with aggressive features should raise a suspicion of malignancy and the need of follow up by multidisciplinary team with experience in its management. Metastases may occur even if the primary tumor is well controlled.
