Pituicytoma
Date of publication: 13-Dec-2010
Background:Pituicytomas originate from pituicytes, modified glial cells derived from ependymal lineage that are found in the stalk and posterior lobe of pituitary gland.

Surgical treatment can be performed by transsphenoidal approach with good results. The prognostic is good after total tumor resection.
