However, in the past few years, the work of clinical data collection and analysis was very weak, which lagged very far behind the developed country. To fiirther obtain the complete infornlation about Chinese patients with pituitary disease, the China Pituitary Disease Register Network （CPDRN） was established by Peking Union Medical Hospital in 2015. The CPDRN not only provides a perfect database for clinical data collection and infornlation sharing but also raises people＇s attention to the collection of clinical intb,＇mation.展开更多

Magnetic resonance imaging （MRI） showed an intrasellar lesion with homogeneous hyperintense on T 1-weighted images and T2-weighted images and inhomogeneous contrast enhancement by the gadolinium administration [Figure l a and lb]. Rathke＇s cleft cyst was initially diagnosed preoperatively, and the tumor was totally resected by transsphenoidal surgery. Histopathology revealed that granulomatous tissue consisted of cholesterol clefts, lymphoplasmacellular infiltrates, marked hemosiderin deposits, and multinucleated foreign body giant cells around cholesterol clefts [Figure 1 e- 1 g].展开更多
