title: Radiotherapy of other sellar lesions.
abstract: Radiotherapy has been used as primary or adjuvant treatment in a number of non-adenomatous masses arising from within the sella. It is particularly important in the therapeutic algorithm of craniopharyngiomas and meningiomas and has also been used in chordomas/chordosarcomas and less commonly, in other lesions. This review describes the place of irradiation in the management of these masses.
