Abstract

Introduction: The use of imaging modalities like PET/CT and MRI for staging in cancer patients has led to increased incidence of incidental detection of sellar masses. Imaging findings can be suggestive of a benign pituitary tumor but metastasis can never be completely ruled out. Appropriate diagnosis of these sellar lesions is critical as the treatment paradigm might change in the presence of pituitary metastasis. Moreover definitive diagnosis might avoid radiotherapy to the skull base or even the need for systemic treatment when benign pituitary disease is confirmed.
