Pituitary adenomas: a review
Pituitary adenomas, as the majority of pituitary neoplasms, are typically benign, slow-growing tumors that arise from cells in the pituitary gland. Those are classified based on secretory products. The functioning (endocrine-active) tumors include almost 70% of pituitary tumors which produce 1 or 2 hormones that are measurable in the serum and cause definite clinical syndromes, that are classif...
متن کاملSurgical management of pituitary adenomas.
As experience with endocrine diagnosis, radiologic evaluation, and transsphenoidal microsurgery has accumulated, more effective therapy has become available for patients with pituitary adenomas. The amelioration of the various endocrinopathies and the potential for restoration of vision in patients with visual impairment make this aspect of modern neurosurgery most satisfying, both for the pati...
متن کاملIncrease in folate receptor alpha expression in nonfunctional pituitary adenomas.
AIM Human pituitary adenomas account for 10% of intracranial tumours and occur in about 20% of the population. They cause hypopituitarism or the compression of adjacent regional structures. However, little is known about the molecular pathogenesis that contributes to the development of these tumours. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this study, we investigated the relationship between the expression l...
متن کاملEndoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Approach for Pituitary Adenomas: a Prospective Review of Our Early Experience
Background & Aim: Pituitary adenomas are a part of a dissimilar group of benign neoplasms. The development of endoscopic techniques for surgery of paranasal sinuses has increased the opportunity for an endoscopic approach with regard to the pituitary gland. Minimally invasive endoscopic pituitary surgery, in turn, permits a more thorough tumor resection and fewer associated surgical complicatio...
متن کاملChapter 16. Surgical Treatment of Pituitary Adenomas
Pituitary adenomas may be classified either according to their size or their functional status (Table 1). Those tumors that measure 10 mm or less in diameter are considered microadenomas; macroadenomas are those larger than 10 mm. Macroadenomas may also be sub-categorized as "giant" if their extent reaches far beyond the normal confines of the pituitary region or their greatest diameter exceeds...
