Hypophysial tuberculoma with hypopituitarism
1973
Abstract In this patient with a caseating pituitary tuberculoma the diagnosis of hypopituitarism was established antemortem by modern tests of pituitary function. Pituitary tuberculoma is rare and may resemble pituitary adenoma. Tuberculoma should be considered in patients with hypopituitarism or enlargement of the sella turcica, or both, who have or have had tuberculosis of any site. Antituberculous therapy should be instituted in such patients, especially when surgery is contemplated.
