“…Rathke cleft cyst (RCC) is a benign lesion located within or above the pituitary gland, arising from remnants of the fetal Rathke pouch [ 69 ]. These lesions vary in size from a few millimeters up to 40 mm, with the majority measuring between 10 and 20 mm in diameter.…”

Neoplasms and tumor-like lesions of the sellar region: imaging findings with correlation to pathology and 2021 WHO classification

et al. 2023

The sellar region represents a complex anatomical area, composed of multiple structures of different embryological derivation, including the skull base and the pituitary gland, along with vascular, nervous, and meningeal structures. Masses arising in this region include benign and malignant lesions arising from the pituitary gland itself, but also from vestigial embryological residues or surrounding tissues, that may require different therapeutic approaches. While assessing sellar region masses, the combination of clinical presentation and imaging features is fundamental to define hypotheses about their nature. MR represents the imaging modality of choice, providing information about the site of the lesion, its imaging features, and relation with adjacent structures, while CT is useful to confirm the presence of lesion calcifications or to reveal tumor invasion of bony structures. The aim of this pictorial review is to provide an overview of the common neoplasms and tumor-like conditions of the sellar region, according to the 2021 WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System (fifth edition), with an emphasis on the radiologic-pathologic correlation. After a brief introduction on the anatomy of this region and the imaging and pathological techniques currently used, the most relevant MRI characteristics, clinical findings, and pathological data, including histologic and molecular features, will be shown and discussed, with the aim of facilitating an appropriate differential diagnosis among these entities.

“…From 1835 he worked in Königsberg (now Kalliningrad), where he worked on the issue of the embryonic structural element from which the pituitary gland was formed. He described it in a text published in 1838, and later it was called Rathke's pouch [19,25]. He died in 1860.…”

Between 1793 and 1914, there were many internationally recognised physicians active in Gdansk. Their scientific activities included, among other things, anatomopathological research, constituting a determinant of progress in medical sciences during this period. One of the most important people was Martin Heinrich Rathke (1793-1860). He is recognised as one of the founders of modern embryology. In Gdansk Rathke's successor was Wilhelm Baum (1799-1883). Baum introduced compulsory post-mortem examinations in the city hospital even after the outbreak, and he was mentor to Theodor Billroth (1829-1894). The successor of Baum as the head of the city hospital was Emil Friedrich Götz (1806-1858). He took up an important topic, which was the consent of the family of the deceased to perform an autopsy. Furthermore, it described the gradual broadening of the scope of anatomopathological activities, consistent with the postulates of the first and second Viennese school, performed in Gdansk in the nineteenth century. However, a detailed analysis of the relationship between the discoveries of nineteenth-century medicine, especially in the field of pathological anatomy, and research carried out in Gdansk, remains in the sphere of research to be done.
