Primary empty sella: a histologic and immunocytologic study.
Abstract
A primary "empty" sella turcica was found incidentally at autopsy, and the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland was studied with the immunoperoxidase technique. All five adenohypophysial cell types, ie, somatotrophs, lactotrophs, corticotrophs, thyrotrophs, and gonadotrophs (containing follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH] and luteinizing hormone [LH], were present in adequate numbers and were well granulated, indicating normal hormone storage.
