Partial duplication of the hypophysis in adult patients: report of 2 cases.
Complete duplication of the pituitary gland is an extremely rare condition which is associated with a wide range of anomalies. An incomplete duplication affecting only the anterior pituitary gland or the pituitary stalk has not been described so far. We report 2 such cases of partial duplication of the hypophysis and briefly review the literature.
