Management of nonfunctioning pituitary incidentaloma

Abstract: Prevalence of pituitary incidentaloma is variable: between 1.4% and 27% at autopsy, and between 3.7% and 37% on imaging. Pituitary microincidentalomas (serendipitously discovered adenoma <1cm in diameter) may increase in size, but only 5% exceed 10mm. Pituitary macroincidentalomas (serendipitously discovered adenoma>1cm in diameter) show increased size in 20-24% and 34-40% of cases at respectively 4 and 8years' follow-up. Radiologic differential diagnosis requires MRI centered on the pituitary gland. Initial a… Show more

“…The enhancement after contrast injection is often minimal. About 5-10% of microadenomas are discovered exclusively on postcontrast images (30,51,52). Dynamic imaging with contrast is not always useful and may cause false-positive results.…”

“…There may be areas of necrosis and hemorrhage with different signals on T1-weighted and T2-weighted sequences (51). In cases of cavernous sinus invasion, the internal carotid artery is usually unaffected (51). Intrasellar microadenomas (<10 mm) have some specific characteristics: lateralization inside the adenohypophysis, possible deformation of the sellar diaphragm and displacement of the pituitary stalk.…”
