case_images: She underwent a brain MRI which demonstrated a clear intrasellar and suprasellar mass measuring 2.5 cm in its largest axis that was compressing the optic chiasm and displacing the anterior communicating artery [Figure 1].
case_images: (a and b) Hematoxylin and eosin staining of the resected mass showed cholesterol clefts, macrophages, chronic inflammatory cells, necrotic debris, and hemosiderin deposits.
