Differential Diagnosis and Radiographic Imaging of Pituitary Lesions: An Integrated Approach

Kevin Zhao et al. Otolaryngol Clin North Am. 2022 Apr.

Abstract

The sellar and parasellar region of the skull base is an area that can harbor a broad range of pathologic conditions. Formulating a differential diagnosis of a lesion in this region relies heavily on neuroimaging in addition to clinical and laboratory data. In this article, the authors briefly discuss some of the common pathologic conditions and their associated radiographic and clinical features.

Keywords: Computed tomography; Differential diagnosis; Magnetic resonance imaging; Pituitary; Sella.
