| Sumario: | We describe a rare case of thyroid-stimulating hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma in a patient with a clinical picture of hyperthyroidism, that developed bitemporal hemianopsia after four years of a known thyroid dysfunction. CT scan showed a pituitary tumor considered grade 2 and stage C according to Hardy-Vezina and Wilson. Treatment was surgical, initially by a transsphenoidal approach, in which only a biopsy was possible. The patient was then submitted to an orbital-pterional craniotomy with sub-total resection of the tumor. Complementary treatment was indicated with radiotherapy. |
