Decoy Lesion in Functional Multiple Pituitary Adenomas: Literature Review and Illustrative Cases on Diagnostic Pitfalls and Surgical Strategies
Key Points
The aim is to differentiate decoy lesions from responsibility lesions in pituitary adenomas to enhance surgical approaches.
Literature review on pituitary adenomas and related diagnostic challenges.
Illustrative case examples to highlight surgical strategies.
Analysis of endocrine outcomes based on correct lesion identification.
Improved surgical planning through accurate lesion differentiation.
Reduced risk of surgical complications by understanding diagnostics.
Enhanced endocrine outcomes reported in selected cases.
Abstract
Identifying decoy lesion and distinguishing it from responsibility lesion may improve surgical planning and endocrine outcomes in complex MPA cases.
