Objective To investigate the histopathological origin and treatment of granular cell tumor(GCT)in sellar region with clinical symptoms.Methods The treatment process and pathological results of a patient with sellar GCT admitted to the No.2 People's Hospital of Changshu in January 2022 were analyzed retrospectively.The origin of pathological tissue and treatment methods of sellar GCT tumor were discussed in combination with related literature reports on pathology and treatment of sellar GCT tumor.Results The imaging report of the patient suspected apoplexy of pituitary adenoma in sellar region,and enhanced MRI showed an obvious enhancement of the tumor.The endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal tumor resection surgery was approached and the postoperative pathology confirmed a neurohypophysis granular cell tumor.The patient was relieved post to the surgery.Conclusion Sellar region GCT is likely to originate from neurohypophysis tissue.Surgery is the priority choice for sellar region GCT with clinical symptoms.The sellar region image and pituitary hormone level are regularly followed up after the surgery.
