摘要: Pituitary collision tumors are sporadically reported and rare. We present a case of pituitary with nonfunctioning adenoma (NFPA) craniopharyngioma. In order to look for any common activated pathway, we examined WNT/β-CATENIN signaling activation, known be involved in tumorigenesis both craniopharyngioma NFPA. found nuclear accumulation β-CATENIN protein expression LEF1 protein, markers active the but not adenomas. our case, NFPA is invasive macroadenoma, which frequently identified type tumor cases. Recurrence this was first observed after 8 years follow-up. Based on suggest that require long-term
