摘要:
A case of lymphocytic hypophysitis (LYHY) in a menopausal woman is presented. A review of the literature suggests that conservative treatment may be tried in suspected cases of LYHY, if the vision of the patient is not threatened. A transphenoidal stereotactic biopsy of the mass may be performed if the patient fails to improve or deteriorates, thus avoiding open exploration of the sella in selected cases.
