| Abstract |
Pituitary metastases are uncommon, ranging from 1 to 5 % of all metastases. Between 10 and 30 % of pituitary lesions are symptomatic responsible for diabetes insipidus, visual field defect or cranial nerve palsy. Primary sites are lung or breast in two-thirds of cases. There is no current reference concerning treatment of such lesions. Overall survival is poor and depends on primary site. Although the role of surgery is currently limited, discussion is warranted in several indications for diagnostic or symptomatic purposes. We report two cases of symptomatic pituitary metastases in a context of breast cancer and review the litterature concerning the role of surgery and other treatment modalities. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 31 October 2015.
All research outputs
#20,295,099
of 22,831,537 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Neuro-Oncology
#2,569
of 2,970 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#238,737
of 284,657 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Neuro-Oncology
#72
of 75 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,831,537 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,970 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.2. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 284,657 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 75 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
