Cover image:
These are award-winning images from the 2001 American College of Rheumatology
slide contest. The magnetic resonance image shows a mass within the pituitary
gland of a 72-year-old female with biopsy-proven Wegener's granulomatosis
involving the lungs, kidneys, and sinuses. Laboratory evaluation showed
evidence of anterior hypopituitarism. Histologic examination (medium power)
of the mass after transsphenoidal hypophysectomy demonstrated necrotizing
granulomatous inflammation consistent with Wegener's granulomatosis. Pituitary
involvement in Wegener's is an uncommon occurrence, and anterior pituitary
involvement is less common than posterior involvement. Kenneth J. Warrington,
MDMayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota
