Methods: Patients with suspected pituitary Cushing disease were included in a retrospective cohort study and were excluded if results of pathological analysis of the surgical specimen were nondiagnostic or normal. Cases were reviewed by two experienced neuropathologists.
Purpose: This case series evaluates the surgical management of granular cell tumor (GCT) of the sellar region. This rare entity presents a unique diagnostic and surgical challenge.
Methods: Institutional neuropathology databases at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital were searched for cases with a tissue diagnosis of GCT, and with a location in the sellar region.
