Higher ARNT expression is associated with the sparsely granulated phenotype in somatotroph pituitary adenomas: An immunohistochemical study
Purpose: Somatotroph pituitary adenomas are a heterogeneous group comprising distinct histopathological subtypes, including the well-defined densely granulated (DG) and sparsely granulated (SG) phenotypes. While the aryl hydrocarbon rece...

68Ga-Pentixafor PET/MRI for identifying corticotroph adenomas in Cushing disease: a pilot study
Purpose To assess whether C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4-targeted 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/MRI can localize corticotroph adenomas in patients with Cushing disease (CD), particularly when MRI is negative or inconclusive, and explore performa...

Pediatric sellar and parasellar lesions: a population-based cohort study of presentation, management, and endocrine outcomes
Purpose Population-based studies describing the full clinical spectrum of pediatric sellar and parasellar lesions are scarce. Most available data derive from referral-based surgical or diagnosis-specific cohorts. We aimed to characterize...

Pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine dysregulation in the saliva of patients with acromegaly: a cross-sectional study
Background: There is evidence to suggest that hormonal dysregulation induced by acromegaly may affect serum cytokine levels. However, to our knowledge, no previous studies have examined the salivary cytokine profile in adults with acrome...

Cabergoline for non-functioning pituitary adenomas: an update on an old clinical controversy
Cabergoline has been used off-label for non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) for decades, yet its place in management remains controversial. We reappraised the evidence, emphasizing studies from the last 3-5 years and how contempor...

GATA3-positive silent corticotroph adenomas are characterized by large size and massive infrasellar invasion
Purpose A subgroup of GATA3-positive silent corticotroph adenomas (SCA) was identified by transcriptomics. We aimed to compare clinical, radiological and surgical outcomes of SCA with and without GATA3. Methods Tumor volume calculated us...

First-in-human evaluation of real-time pixel-level AI-assisted anatomical segmentation in neurosurgery: pituitary surgery as an exemplar
Introduction: Precise anatomical navigation is fundamental to safe endoscopic pituitary surgery, a high-stakes procedure characterised by a challenging learning curve. While traditional navigation systems often rely on workflow-disruptin...
