Endoscopic endonasal approach for resection of sellar leiomyosarcoma metastasis: illustrative case
To the authors' knowledge, this is the first documented case of LMS metastasis to the sella. Pituitary carcinoma or metastases to the sellar region should be in the differential among patients with sellar region tumors with a rapid growth rate, bony erosion, or findings of lesions in the upper cervical lymph nodes or soft tissue. Tumors that show significant interval growth should raise suspicion for nonadenomatous lesions, and surgical intervention should be considered even in the absence of endocrinological dysfunction or cranial neuropathies. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE2435.
