Pituicytoma – case report of a rare neoplasm of the hypothalamic-pituitary region with emphasis on radiologic findings

Pituicytoma is an extraordinarily uncommon, low-grade glioma originating from the posterior pituitary or infundibulum, typically manifesting with symptoms associated with mass effect or hormonal disturbances. Its diagnosis generally necessitates an integrated approach, combining clinical assessment, advanced imaging modalities, and histopathological confirmation. Imaging is pivotal in detecting the lesion and distinguishing it from other sellar and suprasellar masses. This case underscores the radiological characteristics of pituicytoma, highlighting the critical role of a multidisciplinary approach in its diagnosis and management.
