- A 69-year-old man presented with leptomeningeally metastasised pituitary carcinoma, rapidly progressing despite previous treatment with resection, radiotherapy and cabergoline. The patient received temozolomide chemotherapy, resulting in a complete clinical, radiological and biochemical response after 14 cycles, which has been maintained since then. This case lends further support to the role of temozolomide in refractory pituitary tumours.
