Pituitary aspergilloma

Discussion:

Before the advent of immunosuppressants, fungal infections of the central nervous system were rare. Reported cases of primary pituitary aspergillosis often have associated sinus aspergillosis, as demonstrated in the above case, where the patient had sphenoid sinus disease and fungal colonization.
