Pituitary adenomas produce a complex collection of disorders. Some are incidental findings. Some distort local anatomical structures which can lead to disorders of vision or hormone production. Some produce excesses of hormones which can be either life threatening or clinically distressing.

Because of the increasing life expectancy and improving of diagnostic methods, management of pituitary adenomas in elderly patients is growing with time and, actually, the incidence rate has reached value of 7-10 %; more than 80 % of these lesions result in non-functioning pituitary adenomas.

The genetics of pituitary adenomas
Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2010Pituitary adenomas are one of the most frequent intracranial tumors with a prevalence of clinically-apparent tumors close to 1:1000 of the general population. They are clinically significant because of hormone overproduction and/or tumor mass effects in addition to the need for neurosurgery, medical therapies and radiotherapy. The majority of pituitary

Pituitary adenomas of adolescents
Journal of Neurosurgery, 1975✓ A review of four cases of chromophobe adenomas in adolescents suggests that extracapsular extension with invasion of parasellar structures is more common in this age group than in adults. A syndrome of adolescent obesity, oculomotor palsies, and plain x-ray changes of the sella characterizes this group.

Histopathology, 1987
This review highlights various aspects of the new functional classification of pituitary adenomas which is based on detailed immunohistochemical and ultrastructural analysis and correlation with clinical and biochemical findings. In addition, current investigation of the non‐hormonal aspects of these tumours is discussed, includins the application of ...

Current Opinion in Oncology, 1994
This review focuses on recent developments in the treatment of pituitary adenomas. Current treatments include both transcranial and transsphenoidal surgery, the medical treatment specifically for endocrinopathies, and finally, radiation treatments including conventional radiation as well as stereotactic radiosurgery. All these modalities are reviewed.

Pituitary adenomas comprise approximately 10% to 20% of all central nervous system neoplasms whereas autopsy series have suggested that the incidence of pituitary adenoma in the general population may approach 25%. Several treatment modalities are used in the treatment of pituitary adenomas, including observation, surgery, medical intervention, and ...

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2002
Treatment of pituitary adenomas can be pharmacologic or surgical. First- line treatment of prolactinomas is usually medical, using either bromocriptine or cabergoline. Other symptomatic pituitary adenomas typically should be treated with transsphenoidal surgery. Radiation therapy can be adjunctive for residual or recurrent tumor.

The Radiology of Pituitary Adenomas
Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 1984The radiologic management of pituitary adenomas has changed considerably over the last decade. With the development of sophisticated new technologies, diagnostic testing has evolved from pneumoencephalography to pluridirectional tomography, computed tomography, and currently magnetic resonance imaging.
