A 37-year-old man presented with headache and reduced libido. He suffered from panhypopituitarism, and the walls of the pituitary fossa were noted to be thickened, sclerotic, and irregular. Computed tomography scans showed an intrasellar and suprasellar, patchy enhancing tumor. From a biopsy taken at transsphenoidal surgery, a giant cell granuloma was diagnosed, for which there was no obvious cause. Inflammatory disease within the pituitary fossa should be suspected if a reaction is seen in the surrounding bone.
一名37岁男性出现头痛和性欲减退症状。他患有全垂体功能减退症，发现垂体窝壁增厚、硬化且不规则。计算机断层扫描显示鞍内和鞍上有斑片状强化肿瘤。经蝶窦手术活检诊断为巨细胞肉芽肿，病因不明。如果在周围骨质中发现反应，应怀疑垂体窝内存在炎症性疾病。
