Evaluation of modern pathologic nomenclature, tumor imaging and treatment of pituitary adenomas in a recent surgical series

This study reviews retrospectively 49 patients with pituitary adenomas, using a modern, immunohistochemically and ultrastructurally-based nomenclature. It also compares tumor imaging by CT and MRI scans, and analyzes the results of recent neurosurgical and radiotherapeutic treatments. Based on the f...

Zusammenfassung:	This study reviews retrospectively 49 patients with pituitary adenomas, using a modern, immunohistochemically and ultrastructurally-based nomenclature. It also compares tumor imaging by CT and MRI scans, and analyzes the results of recent neurosurgical and radiotherapeutic treatments. Based on the findings of the study, several recommendations on clinical management of pituitary macroadenoma are made.
