Abstract
- Two cases of calcified pituitary adenoma are reported, which comprise 2.44% among a surgical series of 82 pituitary adenomas. Both patients had very high serum prolactin level, which suggested the possibility of hormonal influence in formation of the calcification. The tumors were removed by a subfrontal approach to prevent and reduce possible damage to the surrounding structures.
