Abstract
Pituitary adenomas are the most common etiology of sellar masses. Intra-sellar plasmacytomas are rare causes of sellar tumors of non-pituitary origin and may mimic nonfunctional pituitary adenomas clinically and radiologically. We report an uncommon case of an intrasellar plasmacytoma presenting as the only manifestation of multiple myeloma.File in questo prodotto:
