[Abstract] The objective of the study was to assess the prevalence and clinical features of incidentally discovered clinically non-functioning pituitary adenoma (CNFPA) and to analyze its natural history. A multicenter retrospective study in patients diagnosed with incidental CNFPA periodically followed-up in 3 specialized neuroendocrinology units from 1992 to 2015 was performed. Out of a total of 189 CNFPA patients, 57 cases (30.1%; 29 women; age at diagnosis 55.8±16.7 years) were incidental. Most patients (n=55, 96.5%) were diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A sum of 71.9% (n=41) were macroadenomas; 2 of them (3.5%) were giant adenomas (≥4 cm). Patients with macroadenomas were older than those with microadenomas (59.5±16.7 vs....
