Abstract:

The paper describes 6 cases of the rare disease — primary and secondary hypophysitis detected by a morphological examination of the material of endoscopic transsphenoidal resection of pituitary neoplasms. It also provides clinical and morphological comparisons and analyzes the data available in the literature.

Keywords:

lymphocytic hypophysitis
pituitary sarcoidosis
