We describe a patient who initially presented with impotence followed by progressive lethargy and visual disturbances. Endocrine and radiological evaluation was suggestive of pituitary adenoma but pathological evaluation after transsphenoidal hypophysectomy revealed renal cell carcinoma metastatic to the pituitary. The etiology of this unusual presentation and prior reports of renal cell carcinoma spread to the pituitary are reviewed.
我们描述了一名患者，该患者最初表现为阳痿，随后出现进行性嗜睡和视觉障碍。内分泌和影像学评估提示垂体腺瘤，但经蝶窦垂体切除术后的病理评估显示为肾细胞癌转移至垂体。本文回顾了这种不寻常表现的病因以及既往关于肾细胞癌转移至垂体的报道。
