Abstract

AbstractAn ectopic functioning pituitary in the sphenoid is an extremely rare occurrence, and even rarer is pituitary adenoma causing symptoms of Nelson's syndrome. A case is presented of a young female diagnosed and treated in our clinic. The only functioning hypophyseal tissue was detected inside the sphenoid, as the pituitary gland had been radiated because of Cushing's syndrome 10 years before and imaging studies revealed an empty sella.
