A simple and popular mnemonic to remember the common suprasellar / parasellar / intrasellar/parasellar/intrasellar masses is SATCHMO. The more comprehensive list includes:
-
tumours
- pituitary adenoma: commonest in the adult population
- meningioma
- craniopharyngioma
- hypothalamic astrocytoma / glioma
- chiasmatic astrocytoma
- optic nerve glioma
- germinoma
- chordoma
- dermoid (CNS) / epidermoid / intracranial teratoma
- pituitary metastases
- granular cell tumour of the pituitary (pituitary choristoma)
- pilocytic astrocytoma of the neurohypophysis (infundibuloma)
- cellular inflitrates
-
other lesions
- anterior circulation berry aneurysm
- hamartoma (tuber cinereum hamartoma)
- Rathke's cleft cyst
- intracranial lipoma
- sphenoid sinus mucocoele
- pituitary abscess
- pituitary stone
It is also helpful to consider differentials narrowed by pattern of MRI appearance.
