| Popis: | The sellar colloid cyst is a rare entity anatomically occurring at the intermediate lobe of the pituitary gland. Clinically a cystic sellar lesion with pressure effects usually evokes the suspicion of a pituitary adenoma. We present the case of a middle-aged woman presenting with visual diminution and bilateral optic atrophy, caused by a large sellar lesion, variably intense on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The subsequent histologic diagnosis of a colloid cyst was unexpected. This report highlights the subtle intraoperative and diagnostic features key to diagnosing this rarity. We also discuss a practical differential diagnostic approach relevant to the practicing surgeon and review the existing literature. |
