摘要

33例接受腦下垂體腺瘤摘除術病例，分別以組織化學染法，光學顯微鏡，電子顯微鏡，做進一步研究。腫瘤細胞不同型的區別在於：細胞所含分泌顆粒的大小與其電子密度，以及他們所含的內在微細構造之差異。
根據本研究及先前其他研究者的描述加上對於人體腦下垂體細胞超微構造的確認，配合臨床上利用放射線免疫分析法追蹤荷爾蒙的變化，將有助於對腦下垂體腺瘤的進一步認識。

並列摘要

Thirty-three surgical specimens of pituitary adenomas were examined by immunoperoxidase staining, and light and electron microscopy. The different types of tumor cells were distinguishable by the size of the secretory granules, the electron density and the intracellular organelles which they contained.
Based on the results of this study and the previous descriptions of other investigators, the ultrastructural identification of human pituitary cells may be helpful for a greater understanding of the pituitary adenoma.
