The term 'fugitive acromegaly' was introduced by the neurosurgeons Bailey and Cushing in 1928 to describe subjects manifesting signs and symptoms of somatotroph hyperfunction with pituitary insufficiency. Currently, it identifies patients with subtle acromegalic dysmorphisms and inconsistent hormonal profile, possibly presenting only with hyperprolactinemia and related clinical symptoms. Patients have rapidly growing, locally invasive, relapsing pituitary macrotumors that can be classified as either acidophil stem cell tumors (ASCTs) or sparsely granulated somatotroph tumors (SGSTs), both of PIT1-lineage.

Context: The recent WHO 2022 Classification of pituitary tumours identified a novel group of 'plurihormonal tumours without distinct lineage differentiation (WDLD)'. By definition, these express multiple combinations of lineage commitment transcription factors, in a monomorphous population of cells.
Objectives: To determine the expression of stem cell markers (SOX2, Nestin, CD133) within tumours WDLD, immature PIT-1 lineage and acidophil stem cell tumours, compared with committed cell lineage tumours.

Background: Hypophysis cerebri is considered the master endocrine gland as it plays a critical role in influencing and controlling the vitality of other endocrine organs via several hormones secretion.
Aim: The present study was performed to clarify the localization of Wulzen's cone (WC) within sheep hypophysis and cytodifferentiation of the glandular cells filling cone parenchyma with particular emphasis on the cone correlations with adjacent pars distalis (pd), pars intermedia (pi), and pars nervosa (pn).
Methods: Pituitaries were collected and processed histologically, then subjected to different combinations of special stains; Br-AB- OFG.

This review summarizes the changes in the 5th Edition of the WHO Classification of Endocrine and Neuroendocrine Tumors that relate to the pituitary gland. The new classification clearly distinguishes anterior lobe (adenohypophyseal) from posterior lobe (neurohypophyseal) and hypothalamic tumors. Other tumors arising in the sellar region are also discussed.

Context.—: Cholestasis within bile ductules is touted as a key histologic finding in septic patients but is not entirely sensitive or specific. The spectrum of other histopathologic findings in septic patients has not been thoroughly studied.
