Pituitary carcinoma(PC)is a rare invasive malignant tumor,which can invade adjacent tissues,including cavernous sinus,bone,sphenoid sinus,etc.,and it is ineffective to conventional treat-ment.Without histological features of malignant tumors,PC could be confirmed only when cerebrospinal or systemic metastases were present.Moreover,the characteristics of rapid growth,frequent recurrence,de-layed diagnosis,poor response to conventional treatment,and poor prognosis make it difficult to manage and treat synthetically.This article reviewed the latest progress in the diagnosis and treatment of pituitary carci-noma,so as to strengthen the clinicians'knowledge of the disease and improve the long-term survival rate of patients as much as possible.
