A 34-year-old man presented with a 4-month history of visual obscuration. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a solid, discrete, contrast-enhancing pituitary mass with suprasellar extension. Surgery, which was performed via a transsphenoidal approach, disclosed the pituitary tumor to be a fibrillary astrocytoma (pituicytoma). This case report contains the clinical and neuroimaging features of this rare tumor of the neurohypophysis, which masqueraded as a pituitary adenoma.
一名34岁男性，有4个月视力模糊病史。磁共振成像显示一个实性、边界清晰、有对比增强的垂体肿块，向上延伸至鞍上。通过经蝶窦入路进行手术，发现垂体肿瘤为纤维型星形细胞瘤（垂体细胞瘤）。本病例报告包含了这种罕见的神经垂体肿瘤的临床和神经影像学特征，该肿瘤曾伪装成垂体腺瘤。
