- Spindle cell oncocytoma (SCO)
Synonyms
- Spindle cell oncocytoma of posterior pituitary
Definitions
- In 2017, WHO established that pituicytoma, granular cell tumor (GCT), and spindle cell oncocytoma (SCO) are posterior pituitary tumors (PPTs)
- Probably arise from pituicytes
- May constitute spectrum of a unique histopathological entity
