Abstract

Worldwide, cases of pituitary adenoma with gangliocytoma are rarely reported. The current study reports the cases of two 47‑year‑old females who presented with masses in the sellar region following a general examination and radiological imaging. The two patients underwent sellar region tumor resection via the trans‑naso‑sphenoid approach. The histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a hormone‑free pituitary adenoma with gangliocytoma. The two patients were in good condition and experienced no specific discomfort subsequent to the follow‑up after surgery. Gangliocytoma is a slowly growing and non‑metastasizing tumor. A biopsy is required to differentiate a gangliocytoma from a malignant neuroblastoma, and excision is usually curative.
