Abstract

A 39-year-old male without any significant complaints or symptoms presented with a calcified lesion located at the sellar region. Total removal of the lesion has been achieved via an endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach. Histopathological examination of the lesion revealed a pituitary stone. This report describes the first pituitary stone formed within a plurihormonal pituitary adenoma and also differs from previous studies in means of chosen surgical method that is the first endoscopic approach to a pituitary stone. Additionally, by reviewing previous cases, a classification has been proposed and possible pathophysiological mechanisms behind this rare entity have been discussed.

Özet

Hiçbir şikayeti olmayan ve her hangi bir belirti saptanmayan 39 yaşında erkek hasta, sellar bölgede yerleşim gösteren kalsifiye olmuş bir kitle lezyonu ile başvurdu. Endoskopik endonasal transsfenoidal yol ile kitlenin tamamı tek seansta eksize edildi. Histopatoloj ik incelemede lezyonun bir pitüiter taş olduğu saptandı. Bu rapor ile literatürde ilk defa pitüiter taşın bir plurihormonal hipofiz adenomunun içinde geliştiği bir olgu sunulmuştur. Ayrıca, bu olgu, tedavisinde tercih edilen cerrahi teknik açısından da önceki olgulardan ayrılmaktadır. Ek olarak; literatürde önceden bildirilmiş kısıtılı sayıdaki pitüiter taş olguları gözden geçirilerek bir sınıflama önerilmiştir ve bu nadir tanının ardında yatabilecek patofizyoloj ik mekanizmalar tartışılmıştır.
