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 ...

Pituitary tumors are responsible for 7 to 17% of all intracranial lesions. Over the past decade, advances in endoscopic microsurgical techniques have resulted in an increasingly aggressive endonasal approach to tumors of ...

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 ...

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, ...

Despite considerable progress, there is still no medical treatment available for some kinds of pituitary tumors, in particular hormone inactive adenomas and corticotroph pituitary tumors. Surgical removal or at least ...

Craniopharyngiomas and germ cell tumors (GCT) may affect the pituitary-hypothalamic region during childhood. Although different in origin, their clinical and radiological features may be similar. In this article we present ...
