An unusual case of chromophobe adenoma with conspicuous calcification

Abstract
Abnormal calcification on skull films in the region of the sella turcica is not commonly found with chromophobe adenoma. A patient with such calcification in a verified chromophobe adenoma is presented. From the literature the incidence of calcification in these tumours is reviewed. The importance of considering a chromophobe adenoma in the differential diagnosis of parasellar calcification from the surgical point of view is mentioned.
