Object: Nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas can experiment recurrence and/or progression (R/P) several years after surgery in about 1550% of patients. There is few evidence about risk factors that could predict R/P. The aim of this study is to identify them and describe our experience through a long term of follow-up in pituitary macroadenomas.Methods: Retrospective cohort analysis of 64 patients who underwent surgery between 1990 and 2013. The main ...

Background: Up to 15% of pheochromocytomas are malignant. The only definite criterion for malignancy is the presence of metastases. The histological differentiation between benign and malignant tumours is difficult, being a challenging problem nowadays.Aim: To asses if postoperative histological evaluation using the previously proposed pheochromocytoma of the adrenal gland scales scored (PASS) can predict malignancy.Methods: Twenty...
