Summary Three patients with pituitary adenomas (ACTH-secreting, non-secretory, and multi-secretory) with unfavorable course, in spite of repeated microsurgery, drag therapy, as well as radiotherapy and radiosurgery, are presented. Each case was re-evaluated for possible flaws in management. Two of the invasive tumors continued to grow, in spite of correct management. The third patient with a pituitary adenoma underwent microsurgical resection, and later following a false positive finding of recurrence, received radiotherapy and underwent radiosurgery. The lesion actually was chronic inflammatory tissue.
