Abstract

Four cases of pituitary tumors, 3 chromophobe adenomas and one granular-cell-"myoblastoma", showing abnormal vessels and tumor stain on carotid angiography are reported. The histological picture of the tumor showed features of active tumor growth. All 3 cases of chromophobe adenoma were malignant in the clinical sense. The possible significance of the angiographic findings is discussed.
