Well-known pituitary inflammatory diseases (sarcoidosis, Wegener granulomatosis, Langerhans and non-Langerhans histiocytosis, inflammatory pseudotumors) may occur during pregnancy or apart from it. Moreover, some inflammatory diseases, such as lymphocytic hypophysitis occur most of the time during pregnancy. In this chapter, we shall consider these different pathologies as well as the specific treatment of lymphocytic hypophysitis.
