“…The history of tuberculosis or close contacts was reported only in 35 cases . 6,7,12,14,16,17,20,21,24,27,33,35,37,41,44,49,52,56,58,59,64 The intracranial tuberculomas can occur at any age and commonly affects the young adult. 4,5 It accounted for 30 -34% of all intracranial space-occupying lesions before the emergence of antitubercular drugs.…”

“…The appearance of MRI is variable depending on the extent of caseous necrosis. When caseous necrosis is absent, the tuberculoma is isointense on T1WI, and hyperintense on T2WI, with intense and homogeneous enhancement, mimicking a pituitary adenoma which was the case with our patient [ 16 ]. On the other hand, in the presence of caseous necrosis, the tuberculoma appears hypointense in T1WI with peripheral enhancement.…”

“…The T2 hyperintensity on the MRI and the heterogeneous enhancement suggested a non-secreting adenoma. For pituitary tuberculomas, the CT scan usually shows a sellar mass extended or not in the suprasellar region, spontaneously iso- or hyperdense with intense or rarely peripheral diffuse [ 8 , [15] , [16] , [17] ]. The appearance of MRI is variable depending on the extent of caseous necrosis.…”

Inflammatory findings in the pituitary glands account for approximately 1 % of operations in the sellar region. Primary inflammation (e.g. lymphocytic and idiopathic granulomatous hypophysitis) have to be differentiated from secondary types (e.g. concomittant inflammation with Rathke's cleft cysts, craniopharyngiomas and germinomas) and involvement of the pituitary in generalized inflammation (IgG4-related disease, sarcoidosis and septicopyemia). Langerhans cell histiocytosis also has to be considered for the differential diagnostics. Lymphocytic hypophysitis shows lymphocytic infiltrations of varying density, predominantly of the T‑cell type. Granulomatous hypophysitis has the features of sarcoidosis and can only be diagnosed by exclusion of generalized sarcoidosis. Secondary hypophysitis has a mixed cell infiltration, especially by histiocytic infiltration and predominantly originates from ruptures or bleeding from Rathke's cleft cysts. The frequently very sparse remnants of cyst epithelium should be confirmed by pankeratin immunostaining.
