Plurihormonal pituitary adenoma with trabecular structure, hematoxylin and eosin stain ×100. Pituitary adenoma cells are arranged in trabecular cords with minimal stroma. These cells closely resemble normal anterior pituitary cells (somatotrophs, corticotrophs, gonadotrophs) from which they derive. (human (anterior pituitary adenoma, plurihormonal); Figure 1.)

Double stain immunohistochemistry, normal anterior pituitary, Growth hormone/NeuroD1, x400. Growth hormone (somatotrophs) is visualized in red, NeuroD1 in blue. Shows the normal spatial organization and morphology of anterior pituitary cells. (human (normal anterior pituitary, surgical specimen adjacent to adenoma); Figure 16.)

H&E stain at ×260 original magnification showing partly exfoliated cuboidal epithelial cells of a Rathke's cleft cyst and adjacent normal anterior pituitary tissue. The anterior pituitary (adenohypophysis) parenchyma comprises acidophilic cells (somatotrophs producing GH, and lactotrophs producing PRL, staining pink-red), basophilic cells (corticotrophs, thyrotrophs, and gonadotrophs, staining blue-purple), and pale chromophobe cells arranged in organoid nests separated by sinusoidal capillaries. (human (anterior pituitary, surgical specimen); Figure 5.)
