Pituitary Adenomas: Definition, Symptoms & Treatment - Cleveland Clinic
Pituitary adenomas are benign tumors on your pituitary gland. They’re noncancerous, but they can interfere with normal pituitary function and cause certain health conditions. Healthcare providers treat pituitary adenomas with surgery, medication, radiation or a combination of these therapies. What is a pituitary adenoma?
Hypophysis Adenoma - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Pituitary adenomas are categorized as microadenomas (size < 10 mm), macroadenomas (≥ 10 mm), or giant adenomas (≥ 40 mm) (Fig. 44.1). Pituitary adenomas often appear hypo- or isointense on T1-weighted images and typically exhibit delayed enhancement after contrast administration compared to normal pituitary tissue.
Hypophysis Adenoma - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
An adenoma is a benign or noncarcinogenic glandular tumor. They rarely secrete any hormones (occasionally GH and rarely PRL, TSH, or ACTH), and their effects usually are due to pressure on the brain or optic chiasm caused by growth of the tumor.

Pituitary adenoma - Wikipedia
Pituitary adenomas are tumors that occur in the pituitary gland. Most pituitary tumors are benign, approximately 35% are invasive and just 0.1% to 0.2% are carcinomas. [1] Pituitary adenomas represent from 10% to 25% of all intracranial neoplasms, with an estimated prevalence rate in the general population of approximately 17%. [1] [2]

2023年5月22日 · Hypopituitarism or moderately elevated prolactin are both seen, the latter due to the so-called stalk effect; prolactin release (unlike other pituitary hormones) is tonically inhibited by prolactin inhibitory hormone (PIH - a.k.a. dopamine) and as such, compression of the pituitary infundibulum can result in elevation of systemic prolactin level...
Hypophysis Tumor - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Adenomas usually are solitary nodules that are larger than the multiple areas of focal hyperplasia. They are sharply demarcated from the adjacent normal pituitary glandular parenchyma, and there often is a thin, partial to complete, fibrous capsule. The adjacent parenchyma is compressed to varying degrees depending on the size of the adenoma.
