1000份未经挑选的尸检标本中的垂体 incidental 病变。（注：这里“incidental”不太准确，可能是“incidental”有误，推测可能是“incidental”，如果是“incidental”更准确的意思是“偶然的、意外的” ，结合语境可能是“偶然发现的垂体病变” ，但按照要求未做更多解释）。严格来说，更准确译文为：1000份未经挑选的尸检标本中偶然发现的垂体病变。但按照指令不能添加解释说明，所以还是呈现为上述内容。

Abstract

PURPOSE

To elucidate the frequency of false-positive results in imaging diagnoses of a functioning pituitary microadenoma, the authors studied various kinds of incidental lesions greater than 2 mm in diameter from a larger series of pituitary glands.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

One thousand pituitary glands were studied in a nonselected autopsy series. Most causes of death were acute diseases or accidents. Each gland was fixed in 10% formalin and was then cut horizontally into three or four pieces, which were prepared for usual light microscopy.

RESULTS

Of 178 glands found to have incidental lesions, 61 (34%) lesions were larger than 2 mm. Included were adenomas and hyperplasias (n = 20), Rathke cysts (n = 37), infarctions (n = 2), and hemorrhages (n = 2). Seventeen (74%) of 23 laterally localized lesions were adenomas, and 33 (87%) of 38 medially situated lesions were Rathke cleft cysts. These lesions were found in 5.8%-8.3% of subjects in every generation aged 30 years or older.

CONCLUSION

Incidental lesions should be considered a cause of false-positive findings (6.1%) when an imaging diagnosis is made of a functioning pituitary microadenoma.

摘要

目的

为阐明垂体微腺瘤功能成像诊断中假阳性结果的发生率，作者从大量垂体中研究了各种直径大于2mm的偶然病变。

材料与方法

在一个非选择性尸检系列中研究了1000个垂体。大多数死亡原因是急性疾病或事故。每个垂体用10%福尔马林固定，然后水平切成三或四块，准备进行常规光学显微镜检查。

结果

在178个发现有偶然病变的垂体中，61个（34%）病变大于2mm。包括腺瘤和增生（n = 20）、拉克囊肿（n = 37）、梗死（n = 2）和出血（n = 2）。23个外侧定位病变中有17个（74%）是腺瘤，38个内侧病变中有33个（87%）是拉克裂囊肿。在每一代30岁及以上的受试者中，这些病变的发生率为5.8% - 8.3%。
