A trial of Oral Glucocorticoids in the resolution of recurrent Granulomatous Hypophysitis: A case report / Journal of the ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Societies

ABSTRACT

@#Granulomatous hypophysitis is an extremely rare condition, with no established definitive treatment. An elderly Asian woman was diagnosed to have recurrent granulomatous hypophysitis 5 years after transsphenoidal surgery. No other intervention was done post-operatively. Since another surgery was not advisable due to the high probability of recurrence, she was started on a trial of oral glucocorticoids. After 3 months of steroid therapy, complete resolution of symptoms and sellar mass were achieved.
