Abstract

Introduction Malignant sellar gliomas are very rare phenomena. To date, only few cases of sellar and suprasellar glioblastomas have been reported, most of which originate from the optic nerve or optic chiasm. Case Presentation We present a 34-year-old woman with malignant endo-suprasellar glioma, originating from the pituitary stalk, which was initially classified as a macroprolactinoma. Conclusions Although malignant sellar gliomas can mimic the clinical, endocrinological, and radiological features of pituitary macroadenomas, rapid progression without appropriate hormonal activity suggests their diagnosis. Considering the high malignant potential of sellar glioblastomas, it is important to discuss the specific features of these tumors and to investigate the possibility of differential diagnosis in the preoperative stage, which can be useful for early selection of the treatment plan.

恶性鞍内上胶质瘤1例报告及文献复习
鞍区恶性胶质瘤是非常罕见的现象。到目前为止,只有少数鞍和鞍上胶质母细胞瘤的报道,其中大多数起源于视神经或视交叉。病例介绍我们报告一名34岁的女性,患有恶性鞍上神经胶质瘤,起源于垂体柄,最初被归类为大泌乳素腺瘤。结论尽管鞍区恶性胶质瘤可以模拟垂体大腺瘤的临床、内分泌和放射学特征,但在没有适当激素活性的情况下快速进展提示其诊断。考虑到鞍区胶质母细胞瘤的高恶性潜能,重要的是讨论这些肿瘤的具体特征,并在术前阶段研究鉴别诊断的可能性,这有助于早期选择治疗方案。
