Pituitary Metastases From Differentiated Thyroid Cancers: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pituitary metastasis (PM) from differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is extremely rare and may adversely affect outcomes. We aimed to assess the characteristics and outcomes of patients with PM from DTC.

Methods

We systematically reviewed the literature on publications on PM and the different DTC histologic types (papillary, follicular, and Hurthle cell cancers).
