Leptomeningeal Seeding of Pituitary Adenoma in a Young Lady With Neglected Gigantism: An Extremely Rare Case Report
Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors can sometimes present with leptomeningeal seeding at their initial diagnosis, emphasizing the need for thorough evaluation in cases of leptomeningeal involvement. Additionally, it is crucial for general physicians to inquire about a patient's menstrual status, particularly in low socioeconomic conditions, as this information can provide valuable insights into the hypothalamic-pituitary axis function.
