“…Review of the literature demonstrated nine case reports of women with TS who presented with pituitary adenomas during late adolescence or adulthood; six were diagnosed with functioning pituitary adenoma and three with non-functioning pituitary adenoma as in our case [8,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] (Table 2). Non-functioning pituitary adenomas in children and adolescents are rare; they comprise only 4 to 6% of pediatric patients, while they account for approximately 33 to 50% of adult patients with pituitary lesions [26][27][28]. This case presented with non-functioning pituitary adenoma associated with GH and ACTH deficiency, which is in accordance with a previous study demonstrating that non-functioning pituitary adenomas may present with GH deficiency (up to 75%), LH/FSH deficiency (~40%), or ACTH and TSH deficiency (~25%) [29].…”

Turner syndrome (TS) is a genetic disorder with phenotypic heterogeneity caused by the monosomy or structural abnormalities of the X chromosome, and it has a prevalence of about 1/2500 females live birth. The variable clinical features of TS include short stature, gonadal failure, and skeletal dysplasia. The association with growth hormone (GH) deficiency or other hypopituitarism in TS is extremely rare, with only a few case reports published in the literature. Here, we report the first case of a patient with mosaic TS with complete GH deficiency and pituitary microadenoma, and we include the literature review. During the work-up of the patient for severe short stature, three GH provocation tests revealed peak GH levels of less than 5 ng/mL, which was compatible with complete GH deficiency. Sella magnetic resonance imaging showed an 8 mm non-enhancing pituitary adenoma with mild superior displacement of the optic chiasm. Karyotyping revealed the presence of ring chromosome X and monosomy X (46,X,r(X)/45,X/46,X,psu dic r(X;X)), which indicated a mosaic TS. It is important to consider not only chromosome analyses in females with short stature, but also the possibility of the coexistence of complete GH deficiency accompanying pituitary lesions in TS. In conclusion, the present study reports the first case of GH deficiency and pituitary adenoma in a patient with rare mosaic TS, which extends the genotype–phenotype spectrum for TS.

“…Hormonally silent tumors represent only 4–6% of pediatric cases, while in series of adult patients they account for approximately 33–50% of the total number of pituitary lesions 5,71,72. Most non-functioning adenomas arise from gonadotroph cells and are often macroadenomas at diagnosis; they may present with headaches and visual disturbances, as well as growth and/or pubertal delay 73.…”
