A male patient with lymphocytic hypophysitis is reported on.
Lymphocytic hypophysitis is a rare disease that may mimic pituitary adenoma and occurs mostly in women in the peripartum period. Only six
other cases have been reported in men. Optimal treatment is unclear
from the literature, as the results have been inconsistent and the
reported cases few. The patient described here was successfully treated
by means of transphenoidal surgery and a one year course of treatment
with cortisone acetate.
