Abstract

Posterior pituitary tumours (PPTs) are rare neoplasms with the four recognised subtypes unified by thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) expression, according to the 2017 WHO classification. Though traditionally defined as low grade neoplasms, a substantial proportion of them show recurrence/persistence following surgery.
