  • Clinical study of transsphenoidal approach neuroendoscope-assisted Sella Turcica Tumor resection
    2017
    Co-Authors: Yongjiang Zhang, Wei Zhou, Jun Yang, Guanglie Chen
    Abstract:

    Objective To explore the surgical techniques of transsphenoidal approach neuroendoscope-assisted Sella Turcica Tumor resection. Methods The clinical data of 71 patients who had underwent transsphenoidal approach neuroendoscope-assisted Sella Turcica Tumor resection were retrospectively analyzed. Results Among the 71 patients, pituitary Tumors was in 67 cases (including recurrent pituitary Tumors 4 cases), and Rathke cysts in 4 cases. A total of 54 cases had gross total resection, 10 cases had near total resection, and 7 cases had subtotal resection. Some patients had postoperative complications, including transient diabetes insipidus in 16 cases, refractory hyponatremia in 2 cases, cerebrospinal rhinorrhea in 1 case, hypothyroidism in 1 case, rhinorrhagia and synechia nasal in 1 case, hyposmia in 4 cases, and perioperative cerebral infarction in 1 case. There was no surgery related death. After 3 months′ follow-up, 12 cases were found to have nasal mucosa atrophy. Conclusions The transsphenoidal approach neuroendoscope-assisted Sella Turcica Tumor resection is safe and effective, with less serious complications, but the complications of nasal cavity should not be ignored.

  • Primary pituitary lymphoma presenting as hypophysitis.
    Endocrine journal, 2005
    Co-Authors: Yu-yao Huang, Shu-fu Lin, Po Dunn, Yu-yu Wai, Chuen Hsueh, Jir-shiong Tsai
    Abstract:

    A 47-year-old man had suffered from prolonged fever for two months without clinical evidence of infection. Blood biochemistry and endocrine dysfunction indicated that he had pituitary insufficiency. Thorough whole body imaging studies merely identified a 22 × 14 mm mass lesion in the Sella Turcica. Tumor pathology and special cell marker study revealed the infiltration of atypical T-lymphoid cells and concomitant presence of some B-lymphoid cells. The fever subsided gradually following subtotal Tumor resection and steroid supplementation. However, the mass lesion had invaded the cavernous sinus and optic chiasma shortly after surgery. Six months after his initial visit, metastasis lesions in the liver, the left adrenal gland, and retroperitoneal lymph nodes were discovered. In contrast to cells in the pituitary, the pathological investigation of the liver mass confirmed it to be exclusively of T-cell origin. Therefore, it is plausible that the pituitary dysfunction was related to an inflammatory process, namely hypophysitis, as well as the T-cell lymphoma. This case exemplifies the rarely noted condition of primary pituitary lymphoma with concomitant hypophysitis. Clinical diagnosis is indiscernible until the occurrence of systemic Tumor metastasis.
