Abstract
- This article discusses the management of hypophysitis, a rare and challenging inflammatory disorder. The study analyzed data from 12 adult patients with hypophysitis, examining their demographics, treatment modalities, laboratory findings, histopathological results, and radiological images. The results showed that corticosteroid therapy is the main treatment strategy, but diagnostic accuracy remains difficult due to the wide range of imaging findings. Younger patients have a higher risk of recurrence, and controlling blood glucose levels and body mass index is important in preventing recurrence. Surgical intervention can confirm the diagnosis and improve symptoms, and radiation therapy may be effective for resistant cases. [Extracted from the article]
