Abstract
Tuberculosis of pituitary gland is rare. We report a case of tuberculosis of pituitary gland in a 68-year-old male presented with holocranial headache of four months duration with left temporal hemianopia, with visual acuity of 6/6, without any localizing sign. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a sellar ring enhancing mass with suprasellar extension. Patient was taken up for surgery and put on antitubercular treatment and hormone replacement therapy.
