GlossaryPituitary Adenoma (Pituitary Neoplasm)

benign tumor in the pituitary gland affecting hormone levels

A Pituitary Adenoma is a typically benign tumor that develops in the pituitary gland, a small gland located at the base of the brain responsible for hormone production and regulation. These tumors can cause a variety of symptoms depending on whether they secrete excess hormones or press on surrounding brain structures, potentially leading to hormonal imbalances, vision problems, and other neurological issues.
