“…12) In the endophytic medial growth pattern, lesions extend into the sella turcica, and can be differentiated from intrasellar cavernous hemangioma with cavernous sinus extension based on location of the major portion of the tumor. [2][3][4]15,19) In the present case, MR imaging showed that the pituitary gland was compressed to the lower right side in the sella turcica. Therefore, we speculate that the main mass of the cavernous hemangioma was located in the left cavernous sinus, and then expanded into the sella turcica.…”

A 77-year-old female presented with a rare cavernous sinus cavernous hemangioma with extension to the sella turcica, neuroradiologically mimicking nonfunctioning pituitary macroadenoma. The lesion was partially removed via transsphenoidal surgery, and the histological diagnosis was cavernous hemangioma. After stereotactic radiosurgery using a cyber knife, the lesion decreased in size. Stereotactic radiosurgery may be a good option for cavernous sinus cavernous hemangioma with high risk of surgical bleeding.

Intrasellar cavernous hemangioma is an extremely rare lesion. It is usually confused with pituitary adenoma, both clinically and radiologically. It is important to differentiate intrasellar cavernous hemangioma from pituitary tumors because of the risk of severe hemorrhage during operation and the possible complications in the postoperative period. Magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of the lesion may be helpful in differential diagnosis. In this report, we present the magnetic resonance imaging findings of a cavernous hemangioma case, which is totally intrasellar located.

“…Table 20 (Tab. 20) lists some rare pituitary tumours that could cause sellar deformation [101], [102], [103], [104]. In addition, radiology of sella turcica size only rarely shows an altered bone as a result of primary pathology of the pituitary on incidence [30], [68].…”
