Abstract:
:A group of 33 functionless pituitary tumors with small argyrophil groups (SAG) were collected from a series of 200 pituitary adenomas (16.5% of all adenomas). Histologically, the tumors showed an unusually high frequency of trabecular patterns, perivascular pseudo-rosettes, and oncocytoid transformation. Immunoreactivity for glycoprotein hormone alpha-chain was found in more or less numerous cells of 20 cases (64.5% of SAG tumors). Thirteen of these cases also showed specific beta-chain immunoreactivity, especially for follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) beta-chain, which was present in 11 tumors. Various admixtures of immature, oncocytic, sparsely granulated, and densely granulated cells were observed ultrastructurally, with prevalence of the latter cell variants in tumors showing immunoreactive cells and prevalence of the former cell variants in tumors lacking immunoreactive cells. It is suggested that some relationship may exist between SAG cell (glycoprotein hormone precursor cells?) tumors--or at least part of them--and glycoprotein hormone cell lines. Anyway, whatever their origin and interpretation, SAG cell tumors seem to represent a distinct clinicopathologic entity.
