Pituitary metastases, though very uncommon, may cause endocrine and neurosurgical problems. The clinical manifestation of such metastases is highly variable. Most of the metastatic pituitary tumours are oligosymptomatic. We report two cases of metastatic pituitary lesions. The first patient, a 52-year old female, with metastatic breast cancer, developed symptomatic anterior pituitary insufficiency. The second patient, a 46-years old female presented with signs and symptoms of pituitary apoplexy and visual impairment due to metastasis from renal cancer. None of them was diagnosed with diabetes insipidus, the most common manifestation related to pituitary metastatic mass.
