Recurrent Pituitary Macroadenoma with rapid growth
Abstract
Macroadenomas are benign tumours but they may be locally invasive as described in this case report. Macroadenomas are usually slow-growing and clinically silent until they present with pressure symptoms. The patient in this case report presented with a recurrent aggressive non-functioning pituitary macroadenoma with mitosis and hypopituitarism. The clinical and imaging features as well as management of the pituitary macroadenoma are discussed.
