With reference to pituitary cases seen at a tertiary referral center, the purpose of this exhibit is to review: 1. Unusual pituitary adenomas 2. Imaging appearance of pituitary carcinoma 3. Pituitary disease due to primary cancers at other sites  

Imaging of unusual pituitary adenomas           Giant invasive adenoma, extent may be underestimated by post contrast images without fat saturation           Ectopic pituitary adenoma           Similar histologic appearance of olfactory neuroblastoma and pituitary adenoma as neuroendocrine tumors (importance of radiologist’s report)           Post treatment imaging (effects of surgery, cabergoline, radiation) Pituitary carcinoma Effect on pituitary of cancers at other sites           Pituitary metastasis, association with diabetes insipidus (unlike pituitary adenomas)           Ipilimumab induced hypophysitis
