“…Sellar melanocytic tumors are immunonegative for synaptophysin, a neuronal and neuroendocrine cell marker, for epithelial cell markers and for pituitary hormones. Of 12 cases of melanocytic tumors of the sella reported previously, immunopositivity for S-100 was reported in 6 cases [3,4,6,7,9,15], vimentin in 3 cases [1,7,15], and other markers such as epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) and Masson-Fontana positivity in various others [1,3,5,15,20]. The most useful marker was Hmb-45, which has high sensitivity and specificity and was positive in 8 cases [1,3,4,[6][7][8][9]15].…”
