Magnetic resonance findings in sellar and suprasellar tuberculoma with hemorrhage.

Abstract

Because of its rarity, sellar tuberculoma is seldom considered in the differential diagnosis and is often mistaken for pituitary macroadenoma, which is the most common tumor in this region. Although rare, presence of infundibular thickening and enhancement of the adjacent dura should suggest the presence of a granulomatous lesion like tuberculoma.
