A rare pituitary tumor characterized by the presence of a pituitary adenoma that has metastasized either within the central nervous system, or to distant sites. The vast majority of pituitary carcinomas are hormonally active, most frequently with ACTH or prolactin production. The most common clinical symptoms are diabetes insipidus, optic nerve dysfunction, anterior pituitary dysfunction, palsy of cranial nerves III, IV, or VI, and headaches, although patients may also be asymptomatic. The tumors behave aggressively, and prognosis is poor.	Finding site	True	Pituitary structure	Inferred relationship	Some	1

A rare, acquired pituitary hormone deficiency characterised by inflammation of the pituitary gland secondary to immunotherapy for cancer treatments (such as monoclonal antibodies against cytotoxic T lymphocytes antigen, programmed cell death protein-1, and programmed cell death ligand molecules). Major clinical features include headache, fatigue, adrenal insufficiency and hypothyroidism. Patients may also have nausea and vomiting associated to the headache as well as dizziness and hot flashes. Enlargement of the pituitary gland is present in the brain imaging.
