背景肾细胞癌脑下垂体孤立性转移极为罕见，只有7%的病例有症状。病例报告。我们报告一位52岁男性，因转移性肾细胞癌治疗三年后出现视力障碍及头痛。磁共振成像（MRI）显示肿瘤肿块在鞍上区压迫视交叉，没有其他脑转移灶。进行了经蝶窦肿瘤复位术。病理及免疫组化显示肾透明细胞癌转移。这是文献报道的第25例有症状的肾细胞癌垂体转移。
Background. Solitary metastasis of renal cell carcinoma in the pituitary gland is extremely rare and only in 7% of cases it is symptomatic.Case report. We report the case of a 52 year old man presenting with visual disturbance and headache after three years of treatment due to the metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed tumour mass in supraselar region compressing optic chiasm with no other brain metastatic lesions. The trans-sphenoidal reduction of the tumour was performed. Pathology and imunohistology revealed metastasis of clear cell renal carcinoma.Conclusions. This is the 25(th) case of symptomatic pituitary metastases of renal cell carcinoma reported in literature.
