In contrast to pituitary adenomas, pituitary carcinomas represent a rare malignant neoplasm with a remarkable high mortality. Pituitary carcinomas can arise from any pituitary tumor cell line and are determined to be carcinomas when there is distant metastasis or central nervous system dissemination. In this case vignette, we describe a rare case of malignant prolactinoma with intraspinal metastasis, and we also provide a review of relevant literature and treatment.
与垂体腺瘤不同,垂体癌是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤,死亡率极高。垂体癌可起源于任何垂体肿瘤细胞系,当出现远处转移或中枢神经系统播散时被判定为癌。在本病例 vignette 中,我们描述了一例罕见的伴有脊髓转移的恶性催乳素瘤病例,并对相关文献和治疗进行了综述。
