Primary sellar melanocytoma.

Pituitary - 1 Dec 2021

Claus M, Van Der Linden M, Van Dorpe J, Lapauw B, T'Sjoen G

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: We present an up-to-date review of all published cases of sellar melanocytoma, a benign melanocytic neoplasm arising from melanocytes present in the leptomeninges surrounding the pituitary. METHODS: Both the Medline and Embase databases were searched for case reports or case series of patients with a sellar mass consisting of melanocytes. RESULTS: All 14 identified patients developed symptoms due to...
