title: Granulomatous hypophysitis: presentation and MRI appearance.
abstract: Granulomatous hypophysitis (GrHy) is a relatively rare inflammatory disease compared with lymphocytic hypophysitis. Only a few cases with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings have been reported to date. We describe the MRI findings for two patients with GrHy with unusual histories and clinical outcomes.
