Calcified ectopic TSH-secreting pituitary adenoma mimicking craniopharyngioma: a rare case report and literature review
Acta Neurochir (Wien).
2018 Oct.
Abstract
Among pituitary adenomas, which are relatively common brain tumors, elements of ectopic, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) secretion, and intratumoral calcification are unusual. Here, we present an extremely rare case of a calcified ectopic TSH-secreting pituitary adenoma arising from the pars tuberalis mimicking craniopharyngioma based on neuroimaging findings. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of calcified ectopic TSH-secreting pituitary adenoma without symptoms of excessive thyroid hormone secretion.
Keywords: Calcification; Ectopic pituitary adenoma; Suprasellar; TSH-secreting.
