Clinical characteristics and surgical approach for pituitary granular cell tumors: a case series of six patients and literature review
GCT of the neurohypophysis are rarely encountered clinical practice. The definitive diagnosis of GCT primarily relies on histopathological evaluation. Currently, the standard therapeutic approach involves complete surgical excision of the tumor using a neuroendoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal technique. Post-resection, the rates of recurrence and metastasis are significantly low.
