Pituitary Adenoma
What is Pituitary Adenoma?
Pituitary adenoma, often referred to simply as adenoma, is a benign tumor that develops in the pituitary gland, a small, pea-sized gland situated at the base of the brain. The pituitary gland plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions by producing hormones that control growth, metabolism, and the function of other endocrine glands.
These tumors can be classified into two main categories based on their size:
Microadenomas: These are small tumors, typically less than 1 centimeter in diameter.
Macroadenomas: These are larger tumors, exceeding 1 centimeter in size.
While pituitary adenomas are noncancerous and usually slow-growing, they can cause a range of health issues by disrupting hormone production and pressing on surrounding brain structures.
