11 Additional Evaluation 4 pm: ACTH: 71.8, cortisol: 20.9 Midnight salivary cortisol: insufficient sample X 2 MRI: Ordered High Dose Dex Suppression Test: 8 mg at midnight 8 am cortisol: 1.3 ACTH: 3.6

12 Sellar mass with suprasellar extension and what appears to be indentation at the diaphragmatic sella based on sagittal image seven and demonstrating enhancement, Overall measuring ~10 x 11 x 12 mm, with involvement of the pituitary infundibulum.

13 Next Steps After returning from a month long trip to the Phillipines hypercortisolism was confirmed: 12 am salivary cortisol ug/dl (nl < 0.09) 24 h UFC 80 ug/24h (< 38), urine creatinine 934 mg/24h ( ) Transsphenoidal hemi hypophysectomy performed

17 Pathology The frozen section preparations showed relatively uniformly eosinophilic cells that were interpreted at the time as consistent with a pituitary adenoma. The permanent sections, however, show anterior pituitary type tissue with a distinctly small nested arrangement of cells as seen in normal pituitary parenchyma. The tissue is comprised of cells with eosinophilic, basophilic and amphophilic cytoplasm. On the immunohistochemical studies for GH, LH, FSH, TSH, ACTH and prolactin cells expressing different types of pituitary hormones are found intermixed without a clear sheet like proliferation of cells exhibiting restricted pattern of expression. The morphologic studies therefore don't show any changes that would establish a diagnosis of pituitary adenoma. Post operative endocrine studies suggest a normalization of hormone levels. Some of the removed tissue was not submitted for analysis but went into the aspirator. The etiology of the patient's endocrinopathy and the MRI findings of a swollen uniformly enhancing pituitary are not completely explained by these results.

18 Endo Neurosurg Path Meeting Normal pituitary architecture does not explain MRI findings Corticotroph hyperplasia? Not c/w path Residual adenoma in adenohypophysis or infundibulum? Does not explain diffuse pituitary enhancement CRH secreting adenoma? Exceedingly rare May explain clinical picture but produces corticotroph hyperplasia Therapeutic options Bilateral adrenalectomy (risk for Nelson syndrome), radiotherapy/radiosurgery (feasibility) or re exploration (high risk for hypopituitarism) Need more data
