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 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

Neurosurgery, 1995
Previous series of pediatric pituitary adenomas have been small and have not been analyzed by age group. We analyzed the frequency, manifestation, course, and biology of these tumors before, during, and after puberty in 136 children younger than 20 years old at surgery, identified by review of 2230 patients treated from 1969 to 1993.

Radiotherapy for Pituitary Adenomas
Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2008This article describes the technical aspects and the clinical results of conventional radiotherapy and modern stereotactic radiotherapy for pituitary adenomas. Systematic review of the published literature provides a factual basis for the comparison and the selection of appropriate radiation technique in patients who have secreting and nonfunctioning ...

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 ...

Nonfunctioning adenomas of the pituitary
Metabolism, 1996The term "nonfunctioning" pituitary adenomas (NFPA) implies heterogeneity, since it relies on a clinical definition that is mainly related to tumor mass. The first complaint is often of impaired visual function, and despite the secretion of gonadotropins, hypogonadism is frequent.

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.

Neurosurgical Review, 1985
Out of a series of 515 pituitary adenomas 77 giant tumours seen between 1953 and 1983 were selected and the current problems of their management discussed. Since CT became available the incidence of discovery of giant pituitary adenoma became higher at 20% against 11%, especially in elderly patients.

Calcifications in pituitary adenomas
Surgical Neurology, 1981In a surgical series of 755 pituitary adenomas, 51 cases (6.75%) showed intratumoral calcifications on microscopic examination and 13 of these were visible on roentgenographic examination (1.72%). Thirty-eight of these 51 cases were prolactinomas, the highest incidence being in male patients. There was no correlation between age, sex, levels of hormone,

The pathogenesis of pituitary adenomas
Clinical Endocrinology, 1993The pituitary gland influences osmoregulation, growth, lactation, the immune system and parturition, and is respon- sible for regulating thyroid, adrenal and gonadal function. During lactation and in response to conditions such as hypothyroidism and hypoadrenalism, specific cell types in the pituitary undergo hypertrophy.
