Mr. Z was found to have a pituitary tumor in December last year, the tumor was nearly 2 cm in diameter, and he recently planned to have surgery to remove the tumor.
After some shock, Mr. and Mrs. Z and I explored in detail the reasons for the tumor’s “self-healing” and arranged for regular review in the future, the couple was happily discharged home.
The reason for the disappearance of the tumor is that the original “tumor” was a cystic fluid or microadenoma stroke, which showed that the size of the tumor was not small. Because of the lack of treatment, from the time of discovery to the time of preparation for surgery, the fluid or bleeding is absorbed and the “tumor” is no longer visible.
This is not a case to be taken lightly, but in most cases there is an unknown factor and regular MR or pituitary hormone tests should be scheduled to follow up.
