Test Overview & Methodology
The Immunohistochemistry Pituitary Adenoma Panel is a specialized pathology test that uses antibody-based staining to classify pituitary tumors and guide endocrine and oncological management. This panel includes a comprehensive set of transcription factor markers (Pit‑1, SF‑1, T‑Pit) and hormone antibodies to differentiate functional and silent adenomas.
| Feature | Our IHC Pituitary Adenoma Panel | Standard Histopathology (Limited IHC) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision / Method | Transcription factor panel (Pit‑1, SF‑1, T‑Pit) + hormones per WHO classification | Basic H&E and single‑marker IHC; may miss functional subtyping |
| Turnaround | 5–7 business days (tissue/complex specimens) | 3–5 days (incomplete classification) |
| Accreditation | ISO 9001:2015 (Cert: INT/EGQ/2509DA/3139) & DHA facility 1143 | Variable, often basic CAP accreditation only |
| Price | 1500 AED all-inclusive | 900 – 1800 AED without subtype detail |

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does this pituitary adenoma panel detect?
This classifies pituitary adenomas into distinct subtypes based on transcription factor expression and hormone production. It is essential for determining whether the tumour is clinically functioning or silent, directly influencing medical or surgical decisions.
2. How should I prepare for the tissue biopsy?
You do not need any special preparation; the biopsy is performed by your surgeon or interventional radiologist. Ensure you provide a copy of your histopathology report, exact biopsy site, and complete clinical history to the lab for accurate interpretation.
3. When will I receive my results and how will they be explained?
You receive a comprehensive pathology report within 5 to 7 business days after the specimen reaches the lab. A DHA‑licensed clinician will call you for a free tele‑guidance session to explain the findings and answer your questions.
