AbstractWe studied the concentration ofmRNA from the oncogenes c-myc and c-fos in human pituitary adenomas by Northern blot hybridization (35 somatotrophinomas, 9 prolactinomas, 21 nonsecreting and 3 adrenocorticotrophinomas). The concentration of estrogens and progesterone rec~ptors was also investigated. The levels of c-myc and c-fos mRNA was higher in nonsecreting tumors which were generally the largest.and had a higher percentage of recurrence after surgery than the other groups. High concentration of estrogen receptors was observed in tumors derived from cells which are normally the target of this hormone, mainly prolactinomas. They were also present in somatotrophic and nonsecreting adenomas, related to the presence of prolactin or gonadotrophin cells in these tumors. The presence of estrogen receptors indicates that the tumor cells maintain their differentiation and a good prognosis as is the case for prolactinomas. We did not find any relationship between estrogen receptors and the concentration ofc-myc and c-fos oncogenes. Larger adenomas (mainly nonsecreting) had higher levels ofc-myc and c-fos mRNA than the other tumors and they-had an important percentage of recurrence after surgery. It is clear that tumor size is related to the outcome after surgery and that nonsecreting adenomas are usually large because of the late diagnosis. However two large somatotrophinomas with extrasellar expansion also had overexpression of both oncogenes and both relapsed after surgery. [Neural Res 1998; 20: 709-712] 相似文献

Pituitary adenomas are uncommon in childhood. This report describes the presentation, endocrinological profile, management and outcome of 42 children with pituitary adenomas. The majority of the tumors were functioning adenomas (40/42, 95.2%). Only two patients (4.8%) had non-functioning tumors. Amongst the functioning tumors, there were 20 patients (47.6%) with prolactinomas, 11 patients (26.2%) with Cushing's disease and nine patients (21.4%) with growth hormone (GH)-secreting adenomas. The most common presenting features were endocrinopathy and visual disturbances. The majority of tumors were macroadenomas, with only eight patients (all with Cushing's disease) having a microadenoma. Transsphenoidal tumor decompression was performed in most cases (71.4%). Complications following transcranial surgery were more frequent when compared to transsphenoidal surgery. There was one death following surgery. Response to radiotherapy was satisfactory. Overall, 67.6% of patients achieved endocrinological remission. Of these, 89% of the children with GH-secreting tumors and 100% of the children with Cushing's disease achieved remission. We conclude that the transsphenoidal approach is effective and safe in surgery for pituitary adenomas in children and is the procedure of choice if there is no contraindication. The combination of surgery and radiotherapy, as well as medical therapy with bromocriptine, achieves good results in the management of these uncommon tumors. 相似文献

Objective The aim of this study is to review the results of surgery for pituitary adenomas in children less than 18 years old.
Materials and methods A retrospective review was done of pituitary adenoma patients with the age of less than 18 years who were treated in the period
1979–2003 at Dr. Shariati Hospital.
Conclusions Twenty-one patients (12 girls and 9 boys) were identified. The age range (mean) in girls and boys was 9–18 (15.8) and 9–17
(14.8) years, respectively. The duration of follow-up was 1–23 (13.4) years. Eight patients (38.1%) had adrenocorticotropic
hormone-secreting tumors, 33.3% had prolactin-secreting tumors, 19% had growth hormone-secreting tumors, and 9.53% had nonfunctioning
adenomas. Multidisciplinary management included surgery and, if necessary, reoperation with/without radiotherapy and pharmacotherapy.
Eleven patients, mostly with prolactinomas, acromegaly, and nonfunctioning adenomas, needed reoperation and radiotherapy.
There were two deaths, one of which was because of apoplexy. The biological behavior of pediatric pituitary adenomas seems
more aggressive than adults’ adenomas. The chance of pituitary apoplexy in pediatric invasive pituitary adenoma is high. 相似文献

The clinicopathologic features of seven paediatric patients with pituitary adenomas (2 male, 5 female; mean age 14.3 years) were reviewed. There were three non-functioning adenomas, three prolactinomas, and one growth hormone producing adenoma. Five patients presented with visual field deficits, and six patients had endocrine symptoms, which included menstrual irregularities in all female patients, pubertal delay in two females, and growth delay and gigantism in one case each. On neuroimaging studies, five adenomas showed parasellar extension, while the remaining two prolactinomas were intrasellar microadenomas. While two patients with prolactinomas received good results with bromocriptine treatment alone, the remaining five patients underwent either craniotomy or transsphenoidal surgery. Postoperatively, visual disturbances improved markedly in all patients. Two patients also received replacement hormonal therapy. While six patients have been stable for 3.6 years on average, one non-functioning tumour recurred 2 years after the initial transcranial subtotal resection of the tumour. Although there are still many unknowns concerning the biology and optimal treatments for paediatric pituitary adenomas, many of them are assumed to be relatively rapidly growing tumours, while others merely have an earlier tumour genesis than in adults. 相似文献

Hormone-secreting pituitary tumors account for about 30% of all pituitary tumors. Successful long-term management of patients with these tumors frequently requires a multimodality team approach. Given that the role and efficacy of neurosurgical resection of hormone-secreting pituitary tumors is well described, we focus this review on the other important treatment modalities that are becoming increasingly crucial in the management of acromegaly, Cushing’s disease and prolactinomas. Medical management with standard and novel drugs as well as the role and effectiveness of radiation therapy and radiosurgery are discussed in detail. 相似文献

We immunohistochemically examined the expression of leptin in pituitary adenomas to investigate the correlation between the invasiveness of tumours and leptin expression. The subjects consisted of 79 patients with pituitary adenoma and were classified into the following groups: (1) non-functioning adenomas; (2) GH-secreting adenomas; (3) prolactinomas; (4) ACTH-secreting adenomas; (5) others (LH, FSH or TSH-secreting adenomas). Thereafter all cases were subdivided according to the size of tumour and the presence of invasion to the surrounding tissue. Among non-functioning adenomas, there was no significant difference between invasive and non-invasive non-functioning adenoma. In functioning adenomas, a significant difference in leptin expression was noted in intrasellar non-invasive adenomas compared to other adenomas. There was also a significant difference in leptin expression between non-invasive and invasive adenomas regardless of size. These results suggest that leptin has a role in the invasive potential of functioning adenomas. 相似文献

ObjectiveThe endonasal endoscopic approach has been established for perisellar tumor surgery with a higher resection rate and reduced complications. We analyzed the potential to identify the pituitary gland under endoscopic view, at surgery and see its relation to postoperative hormonal insufficiency in endonasal endoscopic procedures.MethodsBetween January 2011 and January 2014, 70 cases of pituitary adenomas with preoperative intact pituitary function underwent endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal procedures for intrasellar pathologies. Endocrinologists and neurosurgeons followed these patients prospectively. Special attention was paid to intraoperative identification of gland tissue, surgical complications, degree of resection and postoperative hormonal insufficiency.ResultsThe pituitary gland was identified in 57 out of 70 procedures (81.4%). Eleven percent (8 of 70 patients) had persistent pituitary insufficiency. Two of these 8 patients belonged to the group with pituitary gland identification (2 out of 57); thus, when the pituitary gland was identified during the procedure postoperative hormonal insufficiency was seen in 3.5% of cases. Failure of pituitary gland identification presented with hormonal insufficiency of 46.2%. In analysis with Fisher’s exact test, there was a high significant correlation between the identification of the pituitary gland intraoperatively and normal pituitary function postoperatively (p < 0.005). On follow up radical tumor resection was seen in 88% (62 of 70 patients).ConclusionsThis study indicates that identification and preservation of pituitary gland tissue and function is possible in endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery. This preservation of gland tissue is a positive predictor of postoperative normal pituitary function. 相似文献

Transsphenoidal adenomectomy for GH-, PRL- and ACTH-secreting pituitary tumours: outcome analysis in a series of 125 patients 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Abstract
Transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) is a well recognised treatment for secreting pituitary adenomas, however a very wide variation of clinical outcomes and recurrence rates has been reported, depending on the different criteria used to define the cure. We reported the clinical outcome of a large series of patients operated on for a secreting pituitary adenoma according to the most recent stringent criteria of biochemical remission nowadays accepted. One hundred and twenty-five consecutive patients with a secreting pituitary adenoma (42 PRL-, 67 GH- and 16 ACTH-secreting adenomas) who were operated on by the two same neurosurgeons were considered for the study. Biochemical remission of disease was achieved in 56% of patients; 78% for patients with microadenoma and 47% for patients with macroadenomas, respectively. No cases of mortality or major immediate postoperative complications were observed. Tumour size, high hormone levels and dural invasion were significantly correlated to a poor surgical outcome. The recurrence rates ranged between 0 and 24%, being higher for PRL-secreting tumours. In conclusion, TSS is safe and effective in secreting pituitary tumours. It is still the first treatment for GH- and ACTH-secreting adenomas, whereas in patients with prolactinomas, surgery should be reserved for cases of resistance or intolerance to dopamine agonists. 相似文献

From 118 transsphenoidally operated patients, 100 had a pituitary adenoma; 33 prolactinomas, 20 HGH-producing, 2 ACTH-producing and 45 inactive adenomas. The first transsphenoidal operation did not cause any mortality; after reoperation for suspected recurrence on follow-up, 2 patients died; thus, the global management mortality was 1.8%. As surgical complications, diabetes insipidus occurred in 5%, hypopituitarism in 4%. Age at operation was significantly higher in female patients with micro– than with m aero prolactin o m as, and also markedly higher in men than in women with prolactinomas. Preoperative serum prolactin levels were related to tumour size and age and demonstrated an important prognostic factor of postoperative cure. The prognosis of preoperative visual field defects was dependent on preoperative duration.During a follow-up period of 1-6.3 years, 7 patients were reoperated for recurrence of their tumour after intervals of 2-4.5 years; 6 of these patients had had inactive macroadenomas, 1 an ACTH-producing macroadenoma. In 3 of these patients, radiation therapy had been performed. The highest recurrence-rate (19%) among 100 patients was found in patients with inactive macroadenomas with a follow-up of more than 2 years. 相似文献

IntroductionCraniopharyngiomas are a big challenge in the neurosurgical field. Because these lesions involve important systems, surgeons must weigh the risks of aggressive resection against the long-term challenges of recurrence. We present the outcomes of our patients based on clinical results, degree of resection, recurrence and disease-free survival.Materials and methodsWe reviewed medical records in all patients who had undergone surgical resection for craniopharyngioma at (Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires) between 2007 and 2019. We considered ophthalmological examinations, imaging studies, endocrinological studies and surgical complications. Radical resections were planned in all of the patients. To help choose the correct surgical approach, craniopharyngiomas were classified based on tumor location.ResultsThirty cases of craniopharyngioma were analysed. 12.5% were classified as intrasellar, 12.5% as prechiasmatic, 43.75% as retrochiasmatic, and 31.25% as intraventricular. Overall, 38 cases involved a transcranial surgery (15 orbitozygomatic approach; 19 pterional approach and 4 transcallosal approach), seven involved a transsphenoidal approach, two microscopic transnasal approach and one ventricular endoscopy for emptying the craniopharyngioma cyst. Gross-total resection was achieved in 43.7% and near-total resection (more than 90%) in 25%. The mean follow-up period after resection was 4.7 years. Tumor recurrence occurred in 48%, with an average of 42.7 disease-free months.ConclusionTotal tumor resection is the best treatment for craniopharyngioma. Due to its high morbidity and mortality, a multidisciplinary team is necessary for the management of these tumors. 相似文献

Purpose
Diagnosing and operating pediatric patients with intracranial lesions posed a greater diagnostic challenge for physicians during the early twentieth century. At the time, an intracranial neoplasm was indistinctively diagnosed as a glioma, encompassing a broad category of brain tumor pathologies. The treatment and surgical interventions followed for children diagnosed with gliomas is not well-described in the literature from this time.Methods
Following IRB approval, and through the courtesy of the Alan Mason Chesney Archives, we reviewed the Johns Hopkins Hospital surgical files from 1896?C1912. Patients 18?years or younger, who underwent surgical intervention by Cushing for suspected intracranial tumors, were selected.Results
Of the eight pediatric cases diagnosed with gliomas by Cushing, four cases were later diagnosed as medulloblastomas by Dr. Cushing in 1925. Of the remaining four pediatric cases, one was diagnosed as a brainstem glioma and another as a ventricular glioma. We describe the remaining two cases.Conclusion
These examples illustrate Cushing??s approach to treating brain tumors diagnosed as gliomas in pediatric patients, focusing on an initial decompression and followed by a thorough surgical exploration for tumor. Furthermore, these cases demonstrate Cushing??s early attempts to manage such lesions in children and highlight the challenges faced in diagnosing and localizing intracranial lesions within this group of patients. 相似文献15.

ObjectivePituitary adenomas frequently extend into the suprasellar space. After a suprasellar tumor is removed, the superiorly extended arachnoid becomes redundant and sinks down into the intrasellar space which often hiders visualization and accessibility to the hidden space behind the evaginated arachnoid. We introduced arachnoid remodeling by clipping technique, and evaluated its usefulness and safety during TSS. MethodsTotal 223 patients who underwent arachnoid remodeling with our new clipping technique were included. Redundant arachnoid was clipped along the dural edge with multiple 2.6-mm titanium clips until the redundant arachnoid membrane no longer blocked the surgical route. To check for possible deterioration of hormonal function by this technique, we assessed anterior pituitary function of 166 patients who underwent arachnoid remodeling by clipping and compared this with those of other 429 control patients. ResultsOur technique greatly enhanced the accessibility and visualization of intrasellar and parasellar spaces, both of which are generally hindered by redundant arachnoid during transsphenoidal surgery (TSS). We found no difference in anterior pituitary function between a clip-assisted arachnoid remodeling group and the control group, implying that this technique does not result in hypopituitarism. ConclusionDuring TSS for pituitary adenomas with suprasellar extension, arachnoid remodeling by clipping technique is very useful and convenient for the management of the redundant arachnoid membrane to enhance visualization and surgical accessibility. 相似文献

AbstractA method to determine whether dispersed human anterior pituitary adenoma cells proliferate in mixed culture was developed. Fifteen pituitary adenomas were dispersed enzymatically to single cells, following which twelve were double immunostained after eight days. Proliferating cells were identified immunologically following one hour of bromo-deoxyuridine incorporation. Adenoma cells were subsequently identified with an anti-neuron-specific enolase antibody system. A time course of bromo-deoxyuridine labelling was performed on three nonfunctional adenomas over a four day period, with bromo-deoxyuridine being added to cultures at one hour, 24 hours and four days prior to immunostaining. Double immunolabelled cells were unambiguously identified by a dark brown nucleus surrounded by red cytoplasm. Eight out of 12 pituitary adenomas (two prolactinomas,. three nonfunctional, three growth hormone secreting) showed an increased bromo-deoxyuridine labelling index (range 0.1%-1.4%). Bromo-deoxyuridine incorporation over four days showed an increase in bromo-deoxyuridine from 0.02%, 0.03% and 3.3% at one hour to 10.1 %,. 1.3% and 5.0% at four days, respectively,. but evidence of mitosis was scant. This study shows that pituitary adenomas may proliferate in vitro and that this double immunostaining method may be used as an in vitro proliferation assay in a mixed cell population.

IntroductionIntrasellar gangliocytomas are uncommon entities which, unusually, may be found in association with hormone-releasing pituitary adenomas.Case reportThe patient was a 49-year-old female who presented a sellar lesion with associated acromegaly. A trans-sphenoidal tumour was removed, with no medical improvement. Histopathological analysis revealed a gangliocytoma with an associated somatotroph adenoma.DiscussionWe found 85 cases of intrasellar gangliocytomas with associated hormone-releasing pituitary adenomas reported in the literature, with the following distribution: 50 growth hormone-releasing (GH) cases (59%), 15 mixed (GH and prolactin-releasing) cases (17%), 11 prolactin-releasing cases (13%), 7 adrenocorticotropic hormone-releasing (ACTH) cases (8%) and 2 corticotropin hormone-releasing (CRH) cases (2%).ConclusionsMixed gangliocytomas-adenomas are uncommon entities. Association with growth hormone-releasing cases is more frequent and the most common presentation is among middle-aged females. Diagnosis is histopathological. Identification of this entity is important because it may lead to a limitation in therapeutic response in incomplete resections. 相似文献

Exocytosis proteins play an important role in the secretory activities of anterior pituitary cells and adenoma cells. An immunohistochemical study was conducted to elucidate the functional significance of these proteins in growth hormone (GH)-producing adenomas. We studied 40 GH-producing adenomas, 10 prolactinomas, and 10 clinically nonfunctioning (NF) adenomas immunohistochemically with antibodies specific for Rab3B and SNAP-25, both of which are considered essential in secretory activities of the pituitary, and keratin 8 (clone CAM5.2). The tumor volume (TV) was estimated with high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging. Immunoreactivity for Rab3B, which was granular in the cytoplasm, varied in GH adenomas, but was negative in prolactinomas and NF adenomas. Reactivity for SNAP-25, which was linear on the plasma membrane, varied in GH adenomas, and was intensely positive in prolactinomas, and negative in NF adenomas. In GH adenomas, an increased percentage of adenoma cells with dot-like immunoreactivity for keratin 8 was associated with decreased reactivities for Rab3B (R=0.739, P<0.0001) and SNAP-25 (R=0.840, P<0.0001). Increased reactivity for SNAP-25 correlated positively with plasma GH level per unit TV (R=0.685, P<0.0001). The immunoreactivities for Rab3B and SNAP-25 may reflect the number of secretory granules and exocytosis activity, respectively, in pituitary adenomas, including GH adenomas. 相似文献
