[Tuberculous meningitis with pituitary abscess]. / Méningite tuberculeuse avec abcès hypophysaire.

Although rare, the possibility of pituitary tuberculoma should be considered in the diagnosis of non-pituitary intrasellar masses, especially in an endemic area and if radiologic imaging shows pituitary stalk thickening. We describe the case of a 52-year-old patient who presented tuberculous meningitis complicated by a pituitary abscess. He was treated with antituberculous drugs. The follow-up MRI 16 and 48 months later showed the decreased size of the pituitary mass. Radiological features and a review of the literature of pituitary tuberculoma are briefly discussed.

Adrenal adenoma in a patient with Gardner's syndrome. A case report.

Gardner's syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by multiple colorectal polyposis associated with various soft and hard tissue tumors. We report a case of adrenal adenoma in a 37-year-old woman with Gardner's syndrome. Although extraintestinal neoplasms, particularly adrenal lesions, are a rare association, an increased awareness is important.
