DOI: 10.1007/s11060-017-2371-6

Abstract: Giant pituitary adenomas (diameter >4 cm) are a challenge to treat, and there is no consensus on the optimal surgical strategy. We report here our experience in surgical management of these lesions. Adult patients with giant… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2020.11.055

Abstract: Giant pituitary adenomas are considered a surgical challenge. Their invasiveness, irregular growth, and extensions make this surgery critical. Because of this reason, the radical resection rate is low in such pathology. The endoscopic endonasal approach… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2021.08.135

Abstract: BACKGROUND Surgical resection remains the standard treatment for most giant pituitary adenomas (GPAs). The selected surgical approach for these complex lesions depends mainly on their extension. Single approaches may be limited in some cases presenting… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02688697.2022.2057432

Abstract: AimGiant pituitary adenomas are difficult to resect due to multicompartmental extension. We developed a new grading system for giant pituitary adenomas (GPAs) considering possible extension in superior, lateral, anterior, and posterior (SLAP) directions. We also… read more here.

DOI: 10.21037/gs.2019.11.06

Abstract: Background Giant pituitary adenoma (GPA) (diameter >40 mm) remains challenging to treat, and the radical resection rate is low. The intraoperative multimodal navigation is sometimes used in endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES). However, the effect of… read more here.

DOI: 10.25259/sni_316_2020

Abstract: Background: Granular cell tumors (GCTs) of the pituitary are rare tumors of posterior pituitary that can present as giant pituitary macroadenoma due to the slow indolent growth of the tumor. We are reporting this case… read more here.

DOI: 10.3171/2021.10.jns21659

Abstract: OBJECTIVE Giant (maximum diameter ≥ 4 cm) pituitary macroadenomas are complex tumors that require resection for decompression of optic nerves, relief of mass effect, and symptom improvement. Given the lack of surgical accessibility, the lateral… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.879702

Abstract: Background Transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) is first-line treatment for giant pituitary adenomas (PAs). Although PA is a benign neuroendocrine tumor that originates from adenohypophysial cells, the surgical outcomes and prognosis of giant PAs differ significantly due… read more here.
