Acute chagas' disease presenting with a suprasellar mass and panhypopituitarism.

Although intrinsic pituitary lesions are the most common cause of hypopituitarism, suprasellar masses can produce similar symptoms. The differential diagnosis of a suprasellar mass includes cystic lesions, tumors, granulomatous disease, and infection. The etiology is not always obvious, and despite extensive work-up, may remain elusive.
