They are most commonly seen in children and young adults, and most often arise in the cerebellum as part of Cowden’s disease, or in the sellar region. Tumors typically present in adults and most commonly manifest with visual disturbances and pituitary hypofunction.Īdditionally, the authors review the clinical and pathological features of gangliocytomas, rare benign tumors of the neuroaxis. Spindle cell oncocytomas are rare tumors, accounting for less than 0.5% of sellar masses. They typically present with signs and symptoms of a slow growing, non-hormonally active mass of the sellar and suprasellar region, compressing adjacent structures.įollowing this, the clinical and pathologic features of spindle cell oncocytomas are discussed. In The Pituitary Gland and Adrenal Glands: New Research, the authors first discuss pituicytomas, rare primary glial neoplasms that arise in the neurohypophysis (or posterior portion) of the pituitary gland.
