Granular-cell tumour: a rare suprasellar mass

Neuroradiology. 2001 Apr;43(4):309-12. doi: 10.1007/s002340000507.

Abstract

Granular-cell tumour is a rare suprasellar space occupying lesion, which usually presents with visual deterioration, endocrine deficits or headache. We present two women with extraordinarily large tumours, measuring 3.8 and 4.0 cm in diameter. In both cases the tough, vascular tumour could be removed only subtotally.
