A clinical pathological studies on the human pituitary adenomas by using immuno-histological method.
In total 21 cases of pituitary adenomas were analyzed immunohistologically and electron microscopically. Disturbances of sight and visual field were recognized in almost all cases. Prolactinoma was the most frequent from the immunohistological point of view. Double and triple producers were also found. S100 protein was positive only in 3 cases. S100 positive cells are GFAP negative. This is irrelevant with the characteristics of folliculo-stellate cells ever reported.
