Colloid cysts appear most commonly in the third ventricle, their occurrence in the sellar region is uncommon. The authors report a female patient with a pituitary colloid cyst. She was diagnosed incidentally with a sellar lesion by a routine paranasal computed tomography examination performed for planning of a dental implant surgery. Radiologic examinations revealed a pituitary lesion that was removed by transnasal transsphenoidal route. Her pathologic examination revealed that the lesion was a colloid cyst. Although rare, colloid cysts should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pituitary lesions.
胶样囊肿最常出现在第三脑室，在鞍区出现并不常见。作者报告了一名患有垂体胶样囊肿的女性患者。她在为计划种植牙手术而进行的常规鼻窦计算机断层扫描检查中偶然被诊断出有鞍区病变。影像学检查发现一个垂体病变，通过经鼻蝶窦途径将其切除。她的病理检查显示该病变为胶样囊肿。尽管罕见，但在垂体病变的鉴别诊断中应考虑胶样囊肿。
