A 50-year-old male with acromegalic features presented with a pituitary stone in a growth hormonesecreting adenoma. Endocrinological examination showed "low growth hormone acromegaly." The serum growth hormone level responded to the thyrotropin-releasing hormone test and was not suppressed by oral glucose loading. Neuroimaging revealed an adenoma including a large calcification (pituitary stone) located in the right lateral wing. The adenoma with stone was totally removed by transsphenoidal surgery. The patient regained almost normal response of serum growth hormone. Histological examination showed the stone was composed of thick calcification surrounded by necrotic adenoma tissue and chronic hemorrhage. Large intratumoral pituitary stone is very rare, although calcification is sometimes observed in the adenoma capsule. The long history of this disease and previous apoplexy within the tumor may have caused the pituitary stone in this patient.
