Typical morphological characteristics of the immunohistochemical subtypes of pituitary microadenomas: a dual center study
In our cohort, micro-STAs were predominantly located in the lateral-anteroinferior portion of the pituitary gland, micro-LTAs in the lateral-posteroinferior portion, and micro-GTAs in the central-anteroinferior portion. The growth pattern of PMAs was highly correlated with their vertical position instead of their immunohistochemical subtypes. Therefore, MRI shows potential in differentiating partial PMA subgroups, especially cases within the silent groups.
