Abstract
Hyperostosis of skull base can be observed in tumorous lesions like meningioma or primary bone tumors. Rarely few non-meningiomatous lesions can also cause skull base hyperostosis. We present an interesting case of skull base hyperostosis due to invasive pituitary adenoma with invasion into surrounding structures.
