Abstract
Tuberculosis of the pituitary gland is extremely uncommon and may masquerad
e as a nonfunctional pituitary neoplasm. We describe imaging findings in th
ree patients with pituitary tuberculosis and review the pattern of involvem
ent and importance of imaging in its management. An accurate diagnosis was
found to be important in these cases as antituberculous chemotherapy was cu
rative. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
