Imaging in pituitary tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis of the pituitary gland is extremely uncommon and may masquerade as a nonfunctional pituitary neoplasm. We describe imaging findings in three patients with pituitary tuberculosis and review the pattern of involvement and importance of imaging in its management. An accurate diagnosis was found to be important in these cases as antituberculous chemotherapy was curative.
