From the author's acknowledgements: 'This book is built on the work
presented in the previous Fascicle on pituitary tumors of the Third Series
published in 1998. The contributions of many individuals were acknowledged
then and remain recognized now. My continued experience in pituitary

endocrinologists, neurosurgeons and neuroradiologists around the world
and I offer my sincerest thanks for their confidence...'
