Tumors of adenohypophysial hormone-secreting cells, now classified as pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs), have been subclassified based on cell differentiation. Normal adenohypophysial cells have three lineages of differentiation driven by the transcription factors PIT1, TPIT, and SF1 which are responsible for the regulation of hormone gene expression; PIT1 drives expression of GH, PRL, and TSH, TPIT is required for POMC expression that gives rise to ACTH, and SF1 is the transcription factor responsible for FSH and LH expression. The vast majority of PitNETs follow these three lineage differentiation pathways but rare PitNETs show either no lineage differentiation or express biomarkers of more than one lineage.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between magnetic resonance image (MRI) features and the immunohistochemical subtypes of pituitary microadenomas (PMAs) characterized by location and growth pattern.
Materials And Methods: A double-center, retrospective review of MRI characteristics was conducted in 57 PMA cases recorded from February 2014 to September 2023, identified based on the 2017 World Health Organization classification of pituitary gland tumors. The geometric center of the tumor was defined, and the possibility of PMA vertical or lateral growth patterns was evaluated according to the ratio of maximum diameter between the X and Y axes.

Purpose: Silent corticotroph adenoma (SCA) exhibits more tumor aggressiveness features than functioning adenomas (FCA). We aimed to investigate PCSK1N expression in CA and examine if ER stress-induced responses affect cell survival in a corticotroph tumor cell model.
Methods: Clinical and imaging characteristics were recorded in 33 patients with FCA (20 women, 11 macroadenomas) and 18 SCA (8 women, all macroadenomas).
