Coexistence of Neuroendocrine Neoplasm (Carcinoid Type) and Rathke’s Cleft Cysts in the Sella; A Case Report and Review of Literature

Abstract

Intracranial Neuroendocrine Neoplasm (NET) is extremely rare. Herein, we report a very rare case of collision of primary NET (carcinoid type) and Rathkes cleft cysts (RCCs) in the sellar region. A 57-year-old man received a medical checkup and notified a possibility of pituitary neoplasm. However, he did not have any symptoms suggesting intracranial neoplasm, and kept follow up observation.
