| Description |
Pituitary adenomas are arbitrarily grouped by size into microadenomas (less than 10 mm in greatest diameter) and macroadenomas. They are also classified according to their secretory function, although a single tumor may secrete more than one hormone. Many tumors that secrete hormones prolactin, growth hormone (somatotrophin), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH or corticotrophin), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) present clinically as endocrinopathies. As a result, secreting tumors are often diagnosed while still microadenomas. |
