Lint: pituitary-region-masses

pituitary-region-masses
Cele Suffix
error

Acronyms
warning

"Pituitary region masses include lesions in the sella turcica, suprasellar cistern, parasellar region include cavernous sinuses, and basisphenoid/clivus. Several mnemonics have been popularised, including SATCHMO."

Line 1:263 · 'SATCHMO' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.
Prefix Hyphens
warning

"pituicytoma: arise from the neurohypophysis and infundibulum, indolent, often absent pituitary bright spot, T2 hypo-isointense with prominent flow voids"

Line 18:126 · A prefix takes a hyphen only to avoid a duplicate letter: 'hypo-isointense'.
Heterogeneous Spelling
warning

"spindle cell oncocytoma: indistinguishable from macroadenoma, shows intense and early heterogenous enhancement"

Line 20:101 · Radiopaedia advises the '-eous' form: 'heterogeneous' rather than 'heterogenous'.

"pituitary lymphoma: rare, vivid possibly heterogenous enhancement, restricts diffusion"

Line 22:56 · Radiopaedia advises the '-eous' form: 'heterogeneous' rather than 'heterogenous'.
Ranges
warning

"chordoma: T2 hyperintense, commonly in patients from 20-40, arise from the clivus"

Line 39:67 · Don't add words such as 'from' or 'between' to describe a range of numbers.
List Caps
warning

"Langerhans cell histiocytosis (most common)"

Oxford Comma
