Pituicytoma Simulating Pituitary Macroadenoma  

垂体细胞瘤模拟垂体大腺瘤

(Left) Pituicytomas are clinically nonfunctioning benign tumors that on neuroimaging studies completely simulate clinically silent pituitary macroadenomas.  

(左图)垂体细胞瘤是临床上无功能的良性肿瘤,在神经影像学检查中完全模拟临床静默型垂体大腺瘤。





Large Pituicytoma  

大型垂体细胞瘤

(Right) Occasional pituicytomas are of very large size on preoperative neuroimaging studies.  

(右图)偶见垂体细胞瘤在术前神经影像学检查中呈现为非常大的肿瘤。

Pituicytoma Simulating Meningioma

垂体细胞瘤模拟脑膜瘤

(Left) Although on neuroimaging studies, pituicytomas simulate clinically silent pituitary macroadenomas, microscopically they often simulate meningiomas, as in this example with vague whorls.  

(左图)尽管在神经影像学检查中,垂体细胞瘤模拟临床静默型垂体大腺瘤,但在显微镜下,它们常常模拟脑膜瘤,如此例中所见模糊的旋涡结构。





Pituicytoma, TTF-1(+)  

垂体细胞瘤,TTF-1阳性

(Right) TTF-1 nuclear immunoreactivity, which is strongly expressed in normal pituicytes, is also present in pituicytomas. Spindle cell oncocytomas and granular cell tumors are also positive, and these 3 tumors are thus thought to have a shared origin.  

(右图)TTF-1核免疫反应性在正常的垂体细胞中强烈表达,在垂体细胞瘤中也可见到。梭形细胞嗜酸细胞瘤和颗粒细胞肿瘤也呈阳性,因此认为这三种肿瘤具有共同的起源。
