Non Functioning Pituitary Macroadenoma (NFPA) comprise about 80% of all pituitary macroadenomas. NFPAsare frequently found incidentally during imaging studies performed for unrelated reasons.Photobiomodulation(PBM) is a non-evasive technique that uses certain wavelengths of light to restore, repair, and protect tissue that iseither injured, degenerating, or at risk of dying. It has the ability to promote the body’s own immune responses andare able to penetrate into the cells, tissues, blood, nerves, the brain, and into the bones. Perhaps besides radicalsurgical approach, we could explore adjuvant methods of treatments to complement this. In conclusion, PBM mightbe introduced as an adjunct treatment option for patients with brain tumour, non-operable brain lesions or thosewho declined radical surgery and opted for active surveillance.This case report highlightsphotobiomodulationantitumourigenesis effects in reduction of pituitary tumour volume.
