In order to confirm the accuracy of surgeon's impressions for the adenoma tissue and the resi-dual gland during the pituitary surgery, the ope-rative findings on 68 specimens taken from 41 pituitary operations were compared with the pathological results. The accuracy of the opera-tive findings for each tissue was obtained as follows: the adenoma tissue 33)37 (89%), the residual gland 8/9 (89%), the boundary between the adenoma and the gland 17/22 (77%). In most instances, the adenoma was yellowish-white soft mass, while the gland was somewhat reddish firm tissue. However, in case of fibrous adenomas, it was difficult for the surgeon to clearly differen-tiate the adenoma from the gland.

Secondary, the boundary between the adenoma and the gland were histologically examined in 38 specimens (PRL 12, GH14, ACTH 7, N-F 5), using the enzyme-labeled antibody method. Both GH producing adenomas and non-functioning ones generally showed clear boundaries, while PRL producing adenomas and ACTH producing ones (especially adenomas with Nelson's syndrome) frequently demonstrated irregular borders over a wide area.

The third, the invasions of adenoma cells into the pituitary dura were studied in 61 cases (PRL 20, GH 22, ACTH 5, N-F 14). As compared with GH producing adenomas and non-functioning ones, prolactinomas showed markedly high percentage (75%) of dural invasions. Since all ACTH produc-ing adenomas belonged to the subglandular type, no dural invasions were found in them.

Our results suggested that the selective adeno-mectomy was insufficient for the surgical cure especially in prolactinomas and ACTH producing adenomas. The authors stressed that more radical resections were necessary in the operations of these adenomas.
