Abstract
Aggressive pituitary tumors lie between pituitary adenomas and carcinomas, displaying a particular behavior, with invasion, resistance to conventional therapy and early recurrence. The radiological grading, along with prognostic markers such as Ki-67 proliferation index, p53, MGMT and transcription factors are important factors in establishing the benign, aggressive, or malignant nature of pituitary tumors, with a more accurate treatment strategy. In this article, we report the novelties in defining, classifying, and managing aggressive pituitary tumors and their malignant potential, focusing on clinicopathological, histological, molecular and radiological data.
