Abstract

Xanthomatous hypophysitis is a rare inflammatory disorder of the pituitary gland of unknown prevalence that causes pituitary dysfunction and a mass-like lesion. The authors report a case of 40-year-old man with a visual disturbance and a confirmed diagnosis of xanthomatous hypophysitis.

황색종성 뇌하수체염은 드물게 생기는 뇌하수체의 염증성 질환의 하나로서, 뇌하수체 종괴와 기능부전의 양상으로 나타난다. 특히 뇌하수체염의 여러 종류 중에서도 비교적 빈도가 낮게 나타나며 정확한 유병률은 알려지지 않았다. 본 저자는 40세 남자 환자로 시력장애를 주소로 발현한 황색종성 뇌하수체염을 경험하여 이를 보고하고자 한다.
