Pituitary tumors occur sporadically (95%) or as hereditary tumors, either associated with endocrine syndromes (2.5%) or as familial isolated variants (FIPA, 2.5%). In sporadic pituitary tumors, in addition to the known ...

Pituitary tumor apoplexy is a medical emergency due to acute infarction or hemorrhage in the pituitary gland. In this review, the authors discuss the sellar anatomy, the pituitary gland and adenomas' vascularization and ...

Introduction Pituitary carcinomas account for 0.1 or 0.2% of pituitary tumors. The authors report a rare case of a pituitary carcinoma mimicking a radio-induced meningioma. Case report Fifty-five years-old male presents a ...

Pituitary apoplexy (PA) is a rare and potentially life-threatening syndrome resulting from an acute infarction or hemorrhage of the pituitary gland. Although the pathogenesis is not fully understood, some predisposing ...

Pituitary carcinomas are very rare neoplasms with a poor prognosis. We report a case of Cushing's disease resulting from a pituitary carcinoma in a ZZ-yr-old female, who died of massive hepatic failure. At autopsy, there ...

IL-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine with multiple pathophysiological functions. As a key factor of the senescence secretome, it can not only promote tumorigenesis and cell proliferation but also exert tumor suppressive functions, ...

To investigate the putative stem cell/tumor stem cell (SC/TSC) niche contribution to hyperplasic/adenomatous pituitary lesions, we analyzed variation in the pituitary stem cell population during the development of experimental ...
