Clinical profiles of silent corticotroph adenomas compared with silent gonadotroph adenomas after adopting the 2017 WHO pituitary classification system

ConclusionsThe prevalence of SCAs increased with the introduction of T-PIT. SCAs and SGAs exhibited comparable size and recurrence/progression rates, but SCAs showed increased invasion and more marked cystic change. Aggressive SCAs tended to affect younger patients. Close long-term monitoring for SCA recurrence/progression is required.
