Acromegaly is a clinical syndrome caused by the overproduction of growth hormone (GH) and also known as a rare disease. Clinical, biochemical, and radiological features are often indistinguishable between GH-producing hypophysis adenomas and ectopic GH-releasing hormone (GHRH)-producing tumors. A 40

Acromegaly due to an ectopic pituitary adenoma in the clivus: case report and review of literature.

Appel JG1, Bergsneider M, Vinters H, Salamon N, Wang MB, Heaney AP.
Pituitary.Pituitary.2012 Dec;15 Suppl 1:S53-6. doi: 10.1007/s11102-011-0345-9.
Pituitary adenomas rarely originate outside the sella turcica. Ectopic locations include the suprasellar region, sphenoid sinus, cavernous sinus and clivus. We describe a 50-year-old female who presented with clinical signs and biochemical evidence of acromegaly. Pituitary MRI demonstrated a 2 mm hy

Acromegaly with negative pituitary MRI and no evidence of ectopic source: the role of transphenoidal pituitary exploration?

Daud S1, Hamrahian AH, Weil RJ, Hamaty M, Prayson RA, Olansky L.
Pituitary.Pituitary.2011 Dec;14(4):414-7. doi: 10.1007/s11102-009-0205-z.
Growth hormone (GH) producing adenomas of the pituitary gland are usually macroadenomas (>10 mm in size). Often these adenomas are locally invasive by the time of diagnosis. Acromegaly secondary to a very small pituitary microadenoma not visualized on pituitary magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is
