Summary This report describes a rare case of primary intrasellar haematoma in a 66 year-old man with hypopituitarism. Computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an intrasellar cystic lesion with small suprasellar extension. Transsphenoidal surgery revealed that the lesion was a chronic haematoma, without evidence of a tumour or vascular anomaly. Pathological diagnosis confirmed this. This is the first report of a chronic intrasellar haematoma, which is probably primary.
