Pituitary gland metastases

Annals of Surgical Oncology, 1996
Symptomatic pituitary metastasis is an uncommon clinical problem. It may be difficult to distinguish pituitary metastasis from pituitary adenomas both clinically and radiographically. We present our experience with these tumors and compare it with the findings in the literature.Eight cases are reported here. The medical records were reviewed concerning

Anatomy of the pituitary gland

Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism
The pituitary gland, historically misconceived as a structure devoted to mucus excretion, has undergone centuries of anatomical and functional reinterpretation. From the ancient humoral theories of Galen to the molecular frameworks of modern embryology, this review offers a comprehensive historical and anatomical overview of the gland.

Pituitary Gland Tumors

2005
Few human pituitary tumor cell lines have been established. This scarcity may be related to the fact that hormone production rapidly declines within weeks to months after initiation of the culture. In addition, the number of proliferating cells in pituitary adenomas is very low.

Embryology of the pituitary gland

Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1995
For some 40 years, the development of the pituitary gland has been the subject of numerous studies. Several aspects of the origin, differentiation, and commitment of the pituitary cells, however, are still in doubt. The pituitary gland of several species apparently originates from the anterior ridge of the neural plate. Glandular pituitary cells can be

Cancer and the pituitary gland

Experientia, 1950
Ein Extrakt aus Hypophysenhinterlappen wurde gewonnen, der an Krebskranken weitgehende Verkleinerung der Tumoren und Besserung des Allgemeinzustandes erzeugt. Die beiden Wirkungen sind voneinander unabhangig und durch verschiedene Faktoren hervorgerufen. Die Hypophyse enthalt nicht nur krebserzeugende, sondern auch krebshemmende Prinzipien.

Vasoinhibins and the Pituitary Gland

2010
Vasoinhibins are a family of peptides that inhibit blood vessel growth, dilation, permeability, and survival. They are generated by the proteolytic cleavage of prolactin by cathepsin D, matrix metalloproteases, and bone morphogenic protein-1. Lactotropes within the anterior pituitary gland produce and release vasoinhibins.

Neuroendocrinology of the Pituitary Gland

Toxicologic Pathology, 1989
The hypophysial-portal chemotransmitter hypothesis of control of the anterior pituitary was first set forth in the 1940s on the basis of physiological studies of the effects of lesions of the hypothalamus, and of section of the pituitary stalk on pituitary function.

Pituitary Gland Diseases

2010
Excessive secretion of pituitary hormones, as well as their deficiency, may cause a constellation of clinical and pathological manifestations involving major organ systems of the body, including the skin. There are no specific cutaneous signs or symptoms that are pathognomonic for the main manifestations of pituitary gland diseases such as ...

Metastatic tumor of the pituitary gland

Neurosurgery, 1987
Abstract Although metastatic tumors of the pituitary gland and the sellar region are not common, they may radiographically mimic a pituitary tumor. Because the metastasis frequently involves the posterior lobe and because lateral extension to the cavernous sinus is common, patients may present with ptosis, diplopia, or diabetes insipidus.
