Metastases to the pituitary gland is a rare complication of systemic cancer in adults (does not practically occur in children). In 1857 L.Benjamin was the first who described a case of metastasis to the pituitary gland at autopsy of a patient with disseminated melanoma. Metastases in the pituitary gland are marked in 0,14-28,1% of all metastases to the brain in several series of autopsies. Many researchers consider that metastases in the pituitary gland are met in 1% of patients who underwent transsphenoidal surgery and 5% of autopsies.
垂体转移瘤是成人系统性癌症的一种罕见并发症（儿童实际上不会发生）。1857年，L.本杰明首次在一名播散性黑色素瘤患者的尸检中描述了垂体转移瘤的病例。在一系列尸检中，垂体转移瘤在所有脑转移瘤中占0.14% - 28.1%。许多研究人员认为，在接受经蝶窦手术的患者中，垂体转移瘤的发生率为1%，在尸检患者中为5%。
