The 'incidentaloma' of the pituitary gland. Is neurosurgery required? [PDF]
, 1990 We describe a series of 18 patients with an intrasellar mass incidentally discovered by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. The average size of the mass was 13 mm, with a range from 5 to 25 mm.

The Epigenomics of Pituitary Adenoma [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019 Background: The vast majority of pituitary tumors are benign and behave accordingly; however, a fraction are invasive and are more aggressive, with a very small fraction being frankly malignant. The cellular pathways that drive transformation in pituitary neoplasms are poorly characterized, and current classification methods are not reliable correlates
