We present a case of a 28-year-old woman with a history of severe headaches and pituitary insufficiency. She was found to have a large, enhancing, sellar mass consistent with a pituitary adenoma. The patient's surgical care was delayed due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, and follow-up imaging revealed spontaneous involution of the sellar mass. Spontaneous involution of pituitary masses has been described but not often encountered in clinical practice. This case highlights that follow-up imaging is necessary when scheduling elective surgeries during the COVID-19 pandemic.
我们报告了一例 28 岁女性，有严重头痛和垂体功能不全病史。她被发现有一个大的、增强的鞍区肿块，符合垂体腺瘤。由于 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行，该患者的手术治疗被推迟，随访影像学显示鞍区肿块自发消退。垂体肿块的自发消退已有描述，但在临床实践中并不常见。本病例强调了在 COVID-19 大流行期间安排择期手术时，需要进行随访影像学检查。
