Malignant transformation of pituitary adenoma to carcinosarcoma: illustrative case
Radiotherapy for PAs should account for the risk of secondary intracranial tumors, with long-term follow-up recommended for treated patients. Combined therapeutic strategies may be considered for radiation-induced sarcomas, and comprehensive molecular pathological studies of radiation-induced tumors are imperative for advancing understanding and management. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE24765.
