Tuberculomas of the hypophysis cerebri: report of five cases. Abstract Text:

Ketan I Desai,Trimurti D Nadkarni,Atul Goel,

Tuberculomas involving the hypophysis cerebri are extremely rare lesions, and these may occur even in the absence of systemic tuberculosis. This report presents the clinical data of 5 patients harbouring tuberculomas of the pituitary gland. Sellar tuberculomas commonly mimic pituitary adenoma. Histological diagnosis of a sellar lesion is mandatory irrespective of the clinical presentation and radiological findings. A history of extracranial tuberculosis in the past associated with radiological findings like leptomeningeal enhancement, parenchymatous brain tuberculomas or a thickened pituitary stalk on contrast MRI, are indicative of the possibility of a sellar tuberculoma. The aim of surgery is tissue diagnosis and tumour debulking. The response to long-term antituberculous chemotherapy is excellent. There is often a complete resolution of the granuloma and a satisfactory recovery of visual and endocrinological function.
