Introduction: Pituitary adenomas are benign neoplasms which grow slowly, but that can recur even after apparent radical resection. Until now, markers predicting regrowth and invasiveness have not been completely characterized.Design: We investigated cell proliferation and apoptosis parameters in 20 radically resected pituitary macroadenomas (six GH, two PRL, two ACTH, one FSH and nine non-secreting), in order to predict recurrence risk. Tumour regrowth w...

Introduction: Primary empty sella (PES) is a frequent incidental finding reported in 525% of general population and is associated with endocrine abnormalities in 860% of cases. In this collaborative multicentric study we evaluated cardiovascular risk by assessing clinical characteristics, glucidic profile and lipid parameters.Design: A total of 94 PES patients (39M-55F; mean age 50.3±0.9 years; mean BMI 28.9±0.5 kg/m<sup...
