Pituitary adenomas are benign, single, monoclonal slow-growing neoplasms usually related to chemical overproduction. A pituitary adenoma is the third most common intracranial tumor, with the first two being glioma and meningioma. Double pituitary adenoma is an infrequently occurring case and is characterized as occurrence of two adenomas in the single pituitary gland, both having typical immunohistochemical and histopathological highlights. In most of the cases, pituitary adenomas occurring as double adenomas are associated with Cushing's disease. It is further categorized into contiguous and clearly distinct types. Clearly distinct tumors are recognized on neuroradiological imaging. We present imaging findings of a rare case of a double pituitary microadenoma. Early diagnosis of such a rare condition is important and prevents further consequences.
垂体腺瘤是良性、单发、单克隆性生长缓慢的肿瘤，通常与化学物质过度分泌有关。垂体腺瘤是第三常见的颅内肿瘤，前两位是胶质瘤和脑膜瘤。双垂体腺瘤是一种罕见病例，其特征是在单个垂体腺体内出现两个腺瘤，两者均具有典型的免疫组织化学和组织病理学特征。在大多数情况下，以双腺瘤形式出现的垂体腺瘤与库欣病有关。它进一步分为相邻型和明显分离型。在神经放射影像学上可识别出明显分离的肿瘤。我们展示了一例罕见的双垂体微腺瘤的影像学表现。对这种罕见疾病的早期诊断很重要，可以防止进一步的后果。
