Abstract
Hypophysitis cover a wide range of inflammatory lesions affecting the pituitary and/or the pituitary stalk. These lesions could be primary or secondary to regional or systemic infections or inflammations. They should be considered in the differential diagnosis of lesions of the sellar area, especially with pituitary adenomas. The clinical picture includes symptoms resulting from mass effect and/or hypopituitarism
