The birth and rise of a craniopharyngioma: the radiological evolution of an incidental craniopharyngioma detected on serial MRI during medical treatment of a macroprolactinoma / Mariotti, Stefano; Losa, Marco; Mortini, Pietro; Saba, Luca. - In: CLINICAL CASE REPORTS. - ISSN 2050-0904. - 5:1(2017), pp. 14-17. [10.1002/ccr3.623]
Abstract:
This case demonstrates the rare coexistence of a prolactinoma with craniopharyngioma and documents its radiological growth. This case suggests that patients with pituitary neoplasms should be followed closely and although prolactinomas can often be managed medically, a coexistent other lesion may require surgery for histological assessment and to reduce mass effect.
