That eleven @entity1 with @entity3438 were confirmed by pathological examinations were retrospectively reviewed. In the 11 @entity1 , 2 were males and 9 were females. Mean age was 16.8 years old and mean history was 2.6 years. Among them, 11 @entity1 had @entity2010 , 6 @entity1 had @entity227 , 5 @entity1 had @entity851 , and 5 @entity1 had hypopituitary function. The diameter of @entity5 was 1-3 cm in 8 cases and greater than 3 cm in 3 cases. MRI showed hypointensity or homogeneous on T1-weighted images in 8 cases. The @entity5 were fibrous, purple grey or reddish in color with rich blood supply. @entity3438 were confirmed by postoperative pathological examinations. All @entity1 received postoperative irradiation. Postoperative follow-up was from 3 months to 6 years. @entity2010 was improved in 9 cases. Visual function were improved in 4 cases, but @entity4614 and @entity851 were unchanged. In conclusion, when MRI shows sellar @entity5 with unclear boundary in young @entity1 with @entity2010 and @entity4614 , @entity3438 should be highly suspected. Otherwise, radiation therapy may profitably aid to confirm the diagnosis since irradiation is the main treatment of @entity3438 .
