Transphenoidal Skull Base Excision of a Unique Pituitary Adenoma

Abstract

Ectopic nasopharyngeal pituitary adenoma is an extraordinarily rare entity that is often misdiagnosed. They have a very indolent presentation, more so in non-functioning adenomas. We present a case report of a patient who presented with nasal obstruction to the Otolaryngology OPD and was eventually diagnosed to have an ectopic pituitary adenoma in the nasopharynx
