The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of pituitary dysfunction in patients keeping neuropsychological disabilities long after TBI (at least 1 year), to research predictive factors and to evaluate consequences of endocrine abnormalities on metabolism and quality of life in these patients.We studied 50 patients (42 men, mean age 36, range 20–59 years, mean BMI 25, range 17–42 kg/m2) who had survived severe (n=3...

Recently, we provided the first integrated genomic classification of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs), on a series of 134 tumors. This series covered all histological, secretion, invasion and growth speed types. This molecular classification supports the importance of pituitary lineage as proposed by the World Health Organization 2017 classification, but also individualizes new entities. Indeed, corticotroph tumors are split into three distinct molecular groups. In ad...
