Introduction: Paragangliomas are neuroendocrine tumours, usually found from the base of the skull to pelvis. They are extremely rare in the sellar and parasellar region which normally lacks paraganglion cells. We report a rare case of an incidental sellar paraganglioma.Case: A 66 years old female had progressive retinopathy and maculopathy of unclear cause since 2011. Lung nodules were seen on CT performed to exclude paraneoplastic retinopathy. 18F-FDG P...

Introduction: Angiogenesis is regulated by different components of the tumour microenvironment (TME) including cytokines and immune cells. Although angiogenesis has been studied in pituitary adenomas (PAs), the role of individual TME components in PA angiogenesis remains largely unknown. We aimed to characterise the role of the TME components in determining the angiogenesis of PAs, focusing on PA-infiltrating immune cells and the PA-derived cytokine network.<p class="abste...
