The pituitary gland is a pea-sized endocrine gland located at the base of the brain. The pituitary regulates and controls the secretion of hormones from other endocrine glands, which in turn regulate many body processes. These hormones include the following:
  • Growth hormone (GH)
  • Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
  • Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH)
  • Prolactin
About 75% of pituitary tumors secrete hormones. When a tumor produces excessive amounts of one or more hormones, the following conditions may occur:
  • Giantism or acromegaly (excess growth hormone)
  • Hyperthyroidism (excess thyroid stimulating hormone)
  • Cushing's syndrome (excess adrenocorticotropic hormone)
  • Prolactinoma (excess prolactin)
As the tumor grows, destruction of some of the hormone-secreting cells of the pituitary may take place, causing symptoms related to the underproduction of the hormone that is suppressed (hypopituitarism).
The causes of pituitary tumors are unknown, although some are a part of a hereditary disorder called multiple endocrine neoplasia I (MEN I).
There are other types of tumors that can be found in the same area of the head as a pituitary tumor:
  • Craniopharyngiomas
  • Germinomas
  • Cysts
  • Metastatic tumors (tumors that have spread from cancer in another part of the body)
About 15% of tumors located within the skull are pituitary tumors. Most pituitary tumors are located in the anterior pituitary lobe and are usually beningn (noncancerous).
SYNONYMS N/A
SYMPTOMS Because the pituitary gland controls the production of hormones throughout the body, pituitary disorders resemble other endocrine disorders and have a broad range of symptoms. Symptoms depend on the type and location of the tumor and cause hormone excess, hormone deficiency, or pressure on the brain and central nervous system.
Some tumors cause excess hormone production while others cause a deficiency, so one type of tumor may produce symptoms that are very different from those produced by another type of growth (for example, one may cause hair growth while the other causes hair loss).
The same tumor may begin by causing the release of excess hormone and then later result in a hormonal deficiency as normal pituitary cells are suppressed. This would cause early symptoms that appear to be "the opposite" of later symptoms.
Some of the many symptoms associated with pituitary tumors include the following:
  • Headache
  • Visual changes
    • Double vision
    • Drooping eyelids
