Abstract

A collision tumor refers to a rare phenomenon where two distinct neoplasms coexist occupying the same anatomical location. While metastatic brain tumors and pituitary adenoma are two of the most common intracranial tumors, the collision of the two tumors are extremely rare. We report a 76-year-old female patient with progressive visual field defect. She had a history of a stable pituitary adenoma and was recently diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma with no known distant metastasis but with malignant pleural effusion. Her brain magnetic resonance imaging suggested a possible pituitary apoplexy with profound optic nerve compression. The patient underwent transsphenoidal surgery for tumor removal and the presence of metastatic cancer was confirmed by histopathological examination.

碰撞瘤1例:肺癌转移所致垂体卒中
碰撞瘤是指两种不同的肿瘤共存并占据同一解剖位置的罕见现象。虽然转移性脑瘤和垂体腺瘤是两种最常见的颅内肿瘤,但这两种肿瘤的碰撞是极其罕见的。我们报告一位76岁的女性病患,患有进行性视野缺损。她有稳定的垂体腺瘤病史,最近被诊断为肺腺癌,无远处转移,但有恶性胸腔积液。她的脑磁共振成像显示可能是垂体中风伴视神经深度受压。患者接受了经蝶窦手术切除肿瘤,组织病理学检查证实转移癌的存在。
