Primary malignant rhabdoid tumors of the central nervous system: considerations about two cases of adulthood presentation.

abstract：:Soon after the initial description of acromegaly in the late 19th century, neurosurgeons performed the first operative procedures for the disease. Transcranial procedures eventually yielded to the transsphenoidal approach. Reasonably effective medical therapy was introduced in the 1970s and pharmacological progress co...
