Dural tail in pituitary adenoma.
Although a dural tail has been described in association with meningiomas and, rarely, with other tumors in MR imaging with Gd-DPTA. Recently, a pituitary lesion was evaluated by MRI and presented a tail. For this reason the lesion was thought to be a meningioma of the tuberculum sellae, but at surgery proved to be an adenoma.
