Overview

Staging

The radioanatomical classification places adenomas into 1 of 4 stages:

  • Stage I are microadenomas (<1 cm) without sella expansion
  • Stage II are macroadenomas (≥1 cm) and may extend above the sella
  • Stage III are macroadenomas with enlargement and invasion of the floor or suprasellar extension
  • Stage IV are macroadenomas that cause destruction of the sella
