(A). T2-weighted magnetic resonance image in a sagittal plane shows a heterogeneously hyperintense sellar suprasellar mass (black arrowhead). (B). Hematoxylin & eosin stain (magnification 40×) image shows fragmented tumor with sheets of tumor cells associated with areas of hemorrhage. (C). Hematoxylin & eosin stain (magnification 400×) image shows tumor having eccentrically placed nuclei with paranuclear pale eosinophilic rounded fibrous bodies (black arrowheads). (D). Immunohistochemsitry (magnification 100×) image shows paranuclear dot-like expression for antibodies against keratin (Pathnsitu, Clone CAM 5.2). (E). Immunohistochemsitry (magnification 100×) image shows cytoplasmic granular expression in tumor cells for antibodies against growth hormone (Pathnsitu, Clone CAM EP267). (F) Immunohistochemsitry (magnification 100×) image shows nuclear expression in few tumor cells (black arrowheads) for antibodies against proliferation marker (Pathnsitu, Clone MIB-1).
