DOI: 10.1016/j.adro.2021.100813
Abstract: Abstract Pituitary carcinoma (PC) is an uncommon intracranial malignancy with a high rate of metastasis, mortality, and inconsistent response to therapy. Because PC is a rare condition (0.1%-0.2% of pituitary tumors), prospective studies and observable… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2018.11.011
Abstract: BACKGROUND Pituitary carcinomas are rare and aggressive neoplasms that despite current treatment regimens continue to have a poor prognosis. Adrenocorticotrophic hormone pituitary tumors have been shown to alter their clinical manifestations with conversion to Cushing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/rlu.0000000000004029
Abstract: ABSTRACT Pituitary carcinomas are extremely rare and aggressive tumors that comprise only 0.2% of all pituitary tumors. Because of its rarity, pituitary carcinomas are difficult to diagnose. Conventional imaging methods are inadequate to detect metastatic… read more here.

Metastatic Pituitary Carcinoma to Cervical Lymph Node: Diagnosis by Fine Needle Aspiration and Review of the Literature
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Acta Cytologica"
DOI: 10.1159/000467384
Abstract: Background: Pituitary carcinomas are rare neoplasms whose designation requires demonstration of metastatic disease. No specific morphologic features can reliably distinguish pituitary carcinomas from pituitary adenomas, rendering the diagnosis particularly challenging. Furthermore, as reports of pituitary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1210/jendso/bvab048.1153
Abstract: Abstract Background: Pituitary carcinomas are rare and comprise less than 0.5% of pituitary tumors and frequently arise from previously resected and/or radiated infiltrating adenomas.1 Radiation therapy is used to prevent regrowth but does not have… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.968692
Abstract: Although pituitary adenomas (PAs) account for 15% of intracranial tumors, pituitary carcinomas (PCs) are a rare entity. Most commonly, PCs evolve from aggressive PAs invading the surrounding structures and eventually leading to metastatic lesions. Due… read more here.

DOI: 10.4103/sni.sni_498_16
Abstract: Background: Pituitary carcinoma is extremely rare and carries a very poor prognosis. In most cases, apparently indolent tumors become malignant; however, there are no satisfactory biomarkers for predicting tumor behavior. Thus, scientific advances in the… read more here.
