Description and Extensions

Description: NCI2016_NCI-GLOSS_1602D:A tumor that forms in the pituitary gland. The pituitary is a pea-sized organ in the center of the brain above the back of the nose. It makes hormones that affect other glands and many body functions, especially growth. Most pituitary tumors are benign (not cancer).|NCI2016_02D:A benign or malignant neoplasm affecting the pituitary gland. The vast majority are adenomas arising from the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.|MSH2017_2016_08_12:Neoplasms which arise from or metastasize to the PITUITARY GLAND. The majority of pituitary neoplasms are adenomas, which are divided into non-secreting and secreting forms. Hormone producing forms are further classified by the type of hormone they secrete. Pituitary adenomas may also be characterized by their staining properties (see ADENOMA, BASOPHIL; ADENOMA, ACIDOPHIL; and ADENOMA, CHROMOPHOBE). Pituitary tumors may compress adjacent structures, including the HYPOTHALAMUS, several CRANIAL NERVES, and the OPTIC CHIASM. Chiasmal compression may result in bitemporal HEMIANOPSIA.|MEDLINEPLUS_20151021:Your pituitary gland is a pea-sized gland at the base of your brain. The pituitary is the "master control gland" - it makes hormones that affect growth and the functions of other glands in the body. Pituitary tumors are common, but often they don't cause health problems. Most people with pituitary tumors never even know they have them. The most common type of pituitary tumor produces hormones and disrupts the balance of hormones in your body. This can cause <a href='https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/endocrinediseases.html'>endocrine diseases</a> such as <a href='https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/cushingssyndrome.html'>Cushing's syndrome</a> and <a href='https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/hyperthyroidism.html'>hyperthyroidism</a>. Symptoms of pituitary tumors include <ul> <li>Headaches </li> <li>Vision problems</li> <li>Nausea and vomiting</li> <li>Problems caused by the production of too many hormones</li> </ul> Pituitary tumors are usually curable. Treatment is often surgery to remove the tumor. Other options include medicines, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.|CSP2006:new abnormal pituitary tissue that grows by excessive cellular division and proliferation more rapidly than normal and continues to grow after the stimuli that initiated the new growth cease.
