This interesting case deals with the possible origin of pituitary tumor from cell rests located outside the pituitary gland. In the present case we found an elderly lady presenting with a suspected mass lesion of the sphenoidal sinus, clinically suspected to be either an infective granuloma or a chordoma which finally turned out to be an adenoma of the pituitary gland.
