Long-term behaviour of non-functioning pituitary microadenomas: experience from a tertiary care centre in Romania
Micro-NFPAs have an overall benign clinical course, with a high measuring variability in tumors smaller than 6 mm and hypopituitarism is a very rare occurrence. Performing the first follow-up MRI at one year and if stable, delaying re-evaluation to 5 years, without pituitary function reassessment in absence of clinical manifestations, is a safe and cost-effective approach.
