Autoimmune (lymphocytic) hypophysitis is a rare disease thatshould be considered in the differential diagnosis of any nonsecretingpituitary mass, especially when occurring during pregnancy orpostpartum. We have analyzed 370 articles published from January1962 to October 2004 and identified a total of 379 patientswith primary lymphocytic hypophysitis. The present review synthesizesthe clinical and research data reported in this body of scientificliterature.
