Figure 1

MRI T1-weighted (a), T2-weighted (b), and contrast enhanced T1-weighted (c) of a 67-year-old woman presenting with impaired vision and temporal visual field deficit two months before admission. MRI was done two months after the surgery with pterional approach and showed persistence of intrasellar lesion with stalk involvement. Photomicrograph ×40 H & E (e) and photomicrograph ×400 H & E (f) show central caseous necrosis with lymphocytic inflammatory infiltrate, extensive fibrosis, Langhans multinucleated giant cell with epithelioid cells, and lymphocytes, with few polymorphonuclear.
