Résumé

Silent corticotroph tumors (siACTH) represent a rare entity of pituitary tumors (PT), usually more aggressive than other PT. Few predictor factors of recurrence in the post-operative period have been proposed until now. This study aimed (1) to evaluate the clinical outcome of siACTH after surgery according to a five-tiered clinicopathological classification (2) to compare siACTH characteristics to ACTH-secreting macroadenomas (macroCD), and silent gonadotropinomas (siLH/FSH). Between 2008 and 2022, 29 siACTH out of 865 PT cases operated in one tertiary center were included. Clinical, paraclinical, histological, and surgical data were collected and compared to 25 macroCD and 143 siLH/FSH cases, respectively. The tumor grading was established according to both invasion (no = 1; yes = 2) and proliferation (no = a; yes = b). Progression-free survival was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. We identified 15 (51.7%) grade 1a, 11 (37.9%) grade 2a and 3 (10.3%) grade 2b siACTH with a trend for a 7-fold-time higher risk of progression/recurrence in grade 2b as compared to 1a (p = 0.06). The repartition of tumor grades was similar between the three subgroups, however a 5.7-fold-higher risk of progression was observed in grade 1a siACTH than in grade 1a siLH/FSH (p = 0.02). Compared to siLH/FSH, higher ACTH levels may help to preoperatively identify siACTH. The five-tiered clinicopathological classification contribute to predict the risk of recurrence of operated siACTH tumors. Noteworthy, non-invasive and non-proliferative siACTH exhibit a less favorable outcomes than their siLH/FSH counterparts, which should prompt for a personalized follow up.
