This article summarizes the evolution of the diagnostic algorithm and nomenclature of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors, highlighting a multimodal approach to their diagnosis and classification. It also provides brief comments on treatment and new guidelines for genetic screening, particularly for young patients.
The diagnostic algorithm and nomenclature of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors have evolved over the past decade, beginning with simpler categorical schemes focused on histomorphologic features and moving to a more sophisticated lineage-specific categorization. This contemporary overview highlights a multimodal approach to pituitary neuroendocrine tumors with a focus on changes in nomenclature, classification, and subclassification; including, brief comments on treatment, and new guidelines for genetic screening, particularly for young patients with such neoplasms.
