The rim is roughly circular, but appears oval from the Earth due to foreshortening.

The remainder of the inner wall still displays terraces, although they are worn and rounded due to erosion.

There is a low central peak formation at the midpoint of the interior, and the northern end of this ridge is overlaid by the circular crater Pitiscus A.

A slumped and somewhat irregular crater, Pitiscus E, lies along the inner wall to the west-southwest.

[2] By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Pitiscus.
