Abstract

We report a 45-year-old woman with a meningioma which was in contact with only the pituitary stalk on MRI. As the pituitary stalk has no dura mater, we suggest this tumour may have originated from the arachnoid membrane of the pituitary stalk. Though some reports have shown that meningiomas can arise from sites lacking a dural component, this is the first report of a meningioma originating from the pituitary stalk.
