Pituitary adenomas are well described in the literature and are frequently observed and treated in clinical practice by neurosurgeons. On the other hand, ectopic adenomas are a diagnostic enigma; a good understanding of anatomy and radiological characteristics is crucial for the successful management of such pathologies. In this paper, we describe the case of a 77-year-old woman who presented with a clival mass invading the left cavernous sinus; we also discuss the associated diagnostic techniques, approaches, imaging options, and characteristics.
垂体腺瘤在文献中有充分描述，神经外科医生在临床实践中经常观察和治疗此类疾病。另一方面，异位腺瘤是一种诊断难题；对解剖结构和放射学特征有充分了解对于成功处理这类病变至关重要。在本文中，我们描述了一名77岁女性患者的病例，该患者表现为侵犯左侧海绵窦的斜坡肿块；我们还讨论了相关的诊断技术、方法、影像学选择及特征。
