title: Giant cell tumours of the sellar region.
abstract: Six personal cases of giant cell tumours of the sellar region, as well as 19 cases collected from the literature are reported. Clinical findings are described, and the factors affecting the post-operative course are discussed. Radical excision of the growth and recurrence-free course were exceptional. As a general rule, biopsy and partial excision were performed. Progression of signs and symptoms was frequent in the follow-up.
