Eosinophilic granuloma mimicking a pituitary tumor.

R H Goodman, K D Post, M E Molitch, L S Adelman, L R Altemus, H Johnston.

Abstract

The authors present the case report of a patient in whom hypopituitarism, diplopia, and visual field defects were due to eosinophilic granuloma. Radiographic studies were suggestive of a pituitary tumor and subsequent histological evaluation showed replacement of the anterior pituitary by histiocytic cells. Eosinophilic granuloma should be included in the differential diagnosis of an intrasellar mass.
