Popis: Conclusion: Schwannoma of the sellar region is rare and can be misdiagnosed as pituitary adenomas. Preoperative hormonal profile and meticulous neuroradiological assessment narrow down the differential diagnosis for patients with sellar lesions. The diagnosis of sellar schwannomas is established with histopathology and immunohistochemistry results.
