Аннотация
OBJECTIVE: Pituicytoma is a rare, benign, primary tumour, almost all of which occur in adults. Here, we present one case of giant pituicytoma in a boy and a review literature to assist in understanding its natural history, behaviour, clinicopathological features and treatment options.
METHODS: A PUBMED search using the keywords "pituicytoma" was performed, and the citations were reviewed.
RESULTS: We found 65 cases of pituicytomas, including our report, in the international literature to date; among these cases, only three were diagnosed in patients under 14 years old.
CONCLUSION: Pituicytoma is a slow-growing, rare, low-grade glial neoplasm that originates in the neurohypophysis. Currently, the optimal treatment is gross total resection, and confirmed diagnosis relies upon pathological tests. Regular MRI follow-up is recommended.
