We report a case of pituitary tuberculosis which presented as a non-functioning pituitary macroadenoma, and subsequently developed multidrug-resistant tuberculous lymphadenopathy. Pituitary tuberculosis continues to be a rare presentation of tuberculosis, but incidence and prevalence are expected to grow with increasing numbers of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. Isolated pituitary tuberculosis is rare. Tuberculosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis in evaluation of a sellar mass.
