Incidental adenomas of the human pituitary gland.

abstract：:Collision tumors of the sella turcica are rare and consist mainly of more than one type of pituitary adenoma, usually a corticotropin- and a prolactin-producing adenoma. The association of a craniopharyngioma and a pituitary adenoma is rare. Herein, we report the first case of an association between craniopharyngioma ...
