Abstract

    

Introduction: The complex anatomy of the sellar-suprasellar region brings a wide variety of lesions into the clinicopathologic differential diagnosis. Both malignant and benign lesions may arise within the sellaturcica.

Objectives: To find incidence and histomorphological spectrum of the mass lesions in sellar and suprasellar region.

Material and Methods: The present study was retrospective study conducted in SMS Medical College, Jaipur between January 2017 to May 2019. During this period total 148 cases received.

Results: The commonest benign tumor of sellar and supra sellar region was pituitary adenomas followed by craniopharyngiomas.

Conclusion: Both benign and malignant lesions can present as sellar- suprasellar mass. Pituitary adenoma constituted the bulk of sellar and suprasellar region lesions.

Keywords: Sellar, suprasellar, benign, malignant.
