- Abstract
Sellar region is a rare localization for intracranial metastases. The diagnosis is frequently delayed as symptoms are generally non specific. Radiologic diagnosis may be difficult as these tumours present similiraities to other more frequent sellar tumours. There is still no consensus regarding therapeutic approach. Prognosis is related to several features. Pituitary metastases are rare tumors mainly diagnosed in patients with multiple metastatic lesions. Diagnosis is difficult as clinical symptoms are nonspecific. Treatment mainly aims to improve the quality of life.
