ABSTRACT

A black male patient, 15 years of age, with obesity from the age of 5 year, severe acanthosis nigricans in neck, armpits, hands, thigs, stretch marks in arms and abdomen. Slight bilateral palpebral ptosis, slight visual difficulty. Polyuria and polydipsia. Disproportion of the stroke in relation to the size. Hypogenitalism, for the diagnosis of this condition. The clinical method was applied, the imaging techniques showed a large sellar mass that compromised the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. The hormonal studies were performed demostrating a total hypopituitarism, the definitive diagnosis was carried out by stereotactic biopsy where lymphocyte hypophysitis was diagnosed.
