Medical management by using steroids may play an equally important role as the surgical management. A patient suffering from an autoimmune disease who presents with a sellar lesion should be suspected of having lymphocytic hypophysitis. Surgical resection is often advocated when optic nerve and/or chiasmal compression is detected and for lesions nonresponsive to medical management the presence of a normal sella with the stalk in the midline the presence of a dural tail outcome absent T1 bright spot surgical resection
