Case4
Macroadenoma (mimicking tuberculum sella meningioma (4a) & craniopharyngioma (4b))
大腺瘤,类似鞍结节脑膜瘤(4a)、颅咽管瘤(4b)
Clinical
Typically present with endocrinopathy or visual disturbance
Most common suprasellar mass in adults —-“snowman” appearance
End-organ failure in adolescent males can lead to pituitary hyperplasia with an adenoma- like mass
临床表现:典型表现为内分泌功能紊乱或视力障碍。是成年人中最常见的鞍上肿块---表现为“雪人征”。青少年男性终末器官衰竭可导致垂体增生,呈腺瘤样肿块改变。
Imaging
-No separate pituitary gland identified
-MRI: T1 and T2 isointense, heterogeneously enhancing
-By definition, >10 mm; if >4 cm, giant macroadenoma
-May appear invasive, however pituitary carcinoma is extremely rare
影像表现:垂体腺边界模糊不清。MRI:T1T2等信号,不均匀强化。理论上,病灶直径大于10mm,若大于4cm,则为巨大腺瘤。病灶可呈浸润性,但是垂体癌较罕见。
DDx: Pituitary hyperplasia, metastasis, meningioma, craniopharyngioma, aneurysm
鉴别诊断:垂体增生、转移瘤、脑膜瘤、颅咽管瘤、动脉瘤。
Tx: Surgical resection, typically transsphenoidal
Transsphenoidal resection likely to fail when lesions are solid and enhancing with restricted diffusion
~35% recurrence rate over 20 years
治疗:经典的经蝶骨外科手术切除。当病灶为实性和弥散受限时,经蝶骨切除术可能会失败。治疗后20年复发率约35%。
