A Study in Pituitary Neuroendocrine Tumors (PitNETs): Real-Life Data Amid Baseline and Serial CT Scans
NF micro-PIs in adults showed a similar age and sex distribution. During follow-up, PIs with a largest diameter < 0.5 cm increased after a median of 40 months but remained <1 cm, while in PIs with ≥0.5 cm, the largest diameter decreased. This highlights a lower predictability in tumor behavior than expected, particularly in larger micro-PIs that, overall, remained without relevant clinical implications after surveillance.
