How to write a pituitary macroadenoma report.

You must fulfill the following criteria:
1-Site of the lesion.
2-Size.
3-Shape.
4-Edge.
5-Enhancement.
 6-Extension:
Which include the following:
If there is supra-sellar extension or not, reaching chiazma or not, reaching hypothalamus, causing para-sellar extension or not, causing invasion of cavernous sinus or not.
Then, if there is extension to sphenoid sinus.
7-Tumoral hemorrhage.
Here we can use the mnemonic S E T
S for site, size and shape.
E for edge, enhancement and extension.
T for tumoral hemorrhage
