RESUMEN

Introducción:

Los tumores hipofisarios primarios son clasificados por la Organización Mundial de la Salud como adenoma típico, adenoma atípico y carcinoma. Existen datos limitados sobre la incidencia y la prevalencia de tumores hipofisarios, siendo en Portugal escasos, obsoletos o inexistentes. Presentamos un estudio que evalúa los adenomas hipofisarios (AH) basado en la población de Lisboa, cuyo objetivo es describir la prevalencia de todos los subgrupos, revisando la incidencia de este tipo histopatológico «atípico» y su correlación con el subtipo de tumor, invasión y recurrencia. Pacientes y

métodos:

Se realizó un análisis descriptivo retrospectivo de pacientes diagnosticados de AH entre 2004 y 2013, en el Hospital Universitario de Santa Maria (Lisboa), un centro de referencia nacional.

Resultados:

De 220 AH diagnosticados, 28 (12,7%) cumplían criterios de lesiones atípicas, 23 de los cuales (82,1%) fueron macroadenomas y 13 (46,4%) mostraron radiológicamente evidencia de invasión. La edad osciló entre 29-81 años (media 53,4 años). Once pacientes (39,3%) tenían tumores funcionantes. Dieciséis (57,1%) de los 28 pacientes presentaron tumores recurrentes; en 100 de los adenomas diagnosticados, con seguimiento superior a 5 años, se observó una tasa de recurrencia en AH atípicos hasta 7 veces superior. En estudios inmunohistoquímicos destacaron los positivos a ACTH (28,6%), a gonadotrofinas (25%) y a prolactina (17,9%). El índice proliferativo (Ki67) varió entre el 3 y el 25% (media 6,4%).

Conclusiones:

Los AH atípicos corresponden al 12,7% de los AH resecados, tendiendo a ser macroadenomas, invasivos y recurrentes. No encontramos diferencias entre AH típicos y atípicos en cuanto al potencial metastásico
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Primary pituitary tumours are classified by the World Health Organization as typical adenoma, atypical adenoma, or carcinoma. Information on the incidence and prevalence of these pituitary tumours is limited, and these data in Portugal are scarce, obsolete, or non-existent. Our study evaluates pituitary adenomas (PA) in the population of Lisbon, and it aims to describe the prevalence of all subgroups in order to revise the incidence of the ‘atypical’ histological type and its correlation to tumour subtype, invasion, and recurrence. Patients and

methods:

A retrospective, descriptive analysis of patients with PA diagnosed between 2004 and 2013 was performed at Santa Maria University Hospital, a national reference centre.

Results:

Of the 220 PA cases diagnosed, 28 (12.7%) fulfilled criteria for atypical lesions, and within that group, 23 were macroadenomas (82.1%) and 13 showed radiological evidence of invasion (46.4%). Ages ranged from 29 and 81 years (mean, 53.4 years). Eleven patients (39.3%) had functional tumours. Sixteen of the 28 patients (57.1%) experienced tumour recurrences; in the 100 adenomas monitored for more than 5 years, the recurrence rate in atypical PA was 7 times higher than in typical PA. Immunohistochemically, 28.6% of the tumours stained positively for ACTH, 25% for gonadotrophins, and 17.9% for prolactin. The proliferation index (Ki67) ranged from 3% and 25% (mean, 6.4%).

Conclusions:

Atypical PAs make up 12.7% of all surgically treated PA cases, and they tend to be invasive and recurrent macroadenomas. We found no differences in metastatic potential between typical and atypical PA
