Retrospective single-center study
36% for silent corticotroph adenomas, 10% for silent gonadotroph adenomas,
Silent corticotroph adenomas versus silent gonadotroph adenomas
814 pituitary surgeries
>5 years
Watts et al. (2017)
Retrospective analysis
12.5% (6/48; )
Nonfunctioning pituitary macroadenomas
143 patients
12 months

Silent corticotroph adenomas
75 patients
>3 years
Alahmadi et al. (2012)
Retrospective analysis
14% for silent corticotroph adenomas, 10% for nonfunctioning pituitary macroadenomas
Recurrence rates increased with the passage of time, mean immediate postoperative plasma cortisol (IPPC) of >2.0 μg/dL
Jung et al. (2012)
Retrospective study
32.4% (5 years) 54.6% (10 years)
Cushing’s disease
54 patients
50.7 months
Recurrence rate increases with time and possibly increases the preoperative serum cortisol level and pathologic confirmation of adenoma

42.11% (40 months)
Cushing’s disease
57 patients
40 months

Prospective study
18.5%
Cushing’s disease
97 patients
2.9 ± 2.1 years

Age, preoperative basal cortisol levels, and follow-up duration influenced recurrence (there was a significant negative correlation between the patient’s age and the follow-up period)

Prospective analysis
7%
Cushing’s disease
101 patients
4.33 years
Presence of macroadenoma and tumor extension beyond the pituitary and sella were predictive of risk of late recurrence
Almeida et al. (2020)
Retrospective study
34% for GTR 39.5% for subtotal resection

98 patients
Median 144 months

Higher recurrence rates of CD after first TSS
Bou et al. (2011)
Retrospective analysis
20.8%
Cushing’s disease
101 patients
44.7 months
A positive response to vasopressin analogs and/or CRH tests occurs early in recurrence
