We studied two autopsy cases of primary pitui-tary carcinoma.

Case-1. A 45 year old female was admitted on Oct. 4 1978, with a complaint of right homonymous hemianopsia. And diagnosis was pituitary adenoma. Partial removal of pituitary tumor was performed on Oct. 23 1978. She died on Dec. 5 1978 due to bleeding of gastrointestinal tract. Autopsy dis-closed a pitutary carcinoma invading the left hy-pothalamus, mamillary body, optic and V cranial nerves, and mid brain as well as sphenoid bone. No extracranial metastasis was noted.

Case-2. A 44 year old female with a history of acromegaly for 6 years was admitted with a com-plaint of headache on May 8 1976. She was diag-nosed as having pituitary adenoma. The subtotalremoval of pituitary tumor was performed on May 21 1976 and followed by 4500 rad irradiation. At this time, pathological diagnosis was eosinophilic adenoma. Seven years later, she complained of progressive right hearing disturbance, dysarthria and ataxic gait 1983. The second subtotal removal of pituitary tumor was performed with a diagnosis of recurrence of pituitary adenoma on Oct. 7 1983. After the operation, she complicated sepsis and died on Jan. 14 1984. An autopsy disclosed a pi-tuitary carcinoma from residual pituitary gland, continuously extending to the subarachnoid space of the pons, and invading right cerebello-pontine angle and cerebellum. The histological examina-tion revealed pituitary carcinoma with high pleo-morphism and glioblastoma multiform-like feature were within the tumor. The glioblastoma multi-form-like cells were, however, negative for GFAP and S-100 protein immunohistochemically, but were shown ultrastructurally to have a small num-ber of secretory granules within the cytoplasm sug-gesting pituitary cell origin. No extracranial meta-stasis was noted.
