چکیده    Purpose: the objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of pituitary calcifications using cone beam computed tomography in a group of turkish individuals. material and methods: cone beam computed tomography scans in the axial, coronal and sagittal planes of the pituitary gland of 284 patients were examined for evidence of pituitary calcification. results: in the cone beam computed tomography scans, pituitary calcifications were seen 0.7% of the sample. all of the pituitary calcifications were observed in males. conclusion: this study showed a low frequency of pituitary calcification. thus, the low percentage should be considered in the differential diagnosis of calcifying tumors in the sella region and during pre-surgical planning related to the pituitary gland.
