A Rare Association of Pituitary Macroadenoma With Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma: A Case Report
Pituitary macroadenoma and angiofibroma are two distinct and diverse types of tumors that can develop in different anatomical locations and clinical characteristics and are not typically related to each other in terms of their hormonal or developmental aspects. This case describes an adult male with...

description | Pituitary macroadenoma and angiofibroma are two distinct and diverse types of tumors that can develop in different anatomical locations and clinical characteristics and are not typically related to each other in terms of their hormonal or developmental aspects. This case describes an adult male with pituitary macroadenoma with nasal angiofibroma. A 35-year-old male was diagnosed with pituitary macroadenoma and incidentally found to have juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (NPA). The patient underwent a diagnostic workup, including imaging studies and hormonal assays, which confirmed the concomitant presence of both tumors. The patient underwent successful endoscopic surgical excision of the NPA and transnasal transsphenoidal endoscopic pituitary macroadenoma excision as a two-stage operation. The patient was followed up postoperatively and had no evidence of tumor recurrence or hormonal imbalances. The importance of complete and comprehensive diagnostic workup and multidisciplinary management in achieving successful and optimum treatment outcomes for coexisting NPA and pituitary macroadenoma in an adult patient is highlighted in the present report. |
