The distinction between autoimmune hypophysitis and other non-hormone secreting pituitary masses is often difficult to determine with certainty without pituitary biopsy and pathological examination. To aid in this distinction, the authors recently published a clinicoradiological scoring system, which they used in the case of a 15-year-old girl presented here. The patient presented with headache, visual field defects, polydipsia, and polyuria, and she was found to have secondary hypogonadism and hypoadrenalism. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a pituitary mass of approximately 2 cm in diameter. Application of the clinicoradiological parameters gave a score of -6, which favored a diagnosis of hypophysitis over that of adenoma. The presence of pituitary autoantibodies substantiated the diagnosis of hypophysitis. The patient was treated conservatively with high-dose prednisolone, and her symptoms improved markedly. This case illustrates the utility of using a clinicoradiological score when autoimmune hypophysitis is suspected since it can identify patients who can be treated without the need for pituitary surgery.
