Eight years after radiation therapy (5000 rads of 60Co) for a pituitary adenoma, a patient developed a sellar fibrosarcoma. The tumor had an aggressive growth pattern: it infiltrated the optic nerve, sphenoidal air sinus, hypothalamus, and both cavernous sinuses, where compression of the left internal carotid artery resulted in a massive hemispheric infarction. Surgery was ineffective in arresting rapid growth of the lesion; death occurring 5 months after onset of symptoms.
一名垂体腺瘤患者在接受放射治疗（60钴5000拉德）八年后，发生了鞍区纤维肉瘤。该肿瘤生长方式具有侵袭性：它侵犯了视神经、蝶窦、下丘脑以及双侧海绵窦，其中左侧颈内动脉受压导致大面积半球梗死。手术未能有效阻止病变的快速生长；患者在症状出现后5个月死亡。
