Abstract This retrospective review of pediatric patients with pituitary tumors causing onset of symptoms by 17 years of age was done to define their pathological distribution, clinical presentation, treatment, and prognosis. Eighteen patients were evaluated and treated from 1979 to 1989.

Aggressive Pituitary Tumors or Localized Pituitary Carcinomas: Defining Pituitary Tumors
Expert Review of Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2016Pituitary tumors are common and exhibit a wide spectrum of hormonal, proliferative and invasive behaviors. Traditional classifications consider them malignant only when they exhibit metastasis. Patients who suffer morbidity and mortality from aggressive tumors classified as "adenomas" are denied support provided to patients with "cancers" and in many ...

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2017
Since the presence of microRNAs was first observed in normal pituitary, the majority of scientific publications addressing their role and the function of microRNAs in the pituitary have been based on pituitary tumor studies. In this review, we briefly describe the involvement of microRNAs in the synthesis of pituitary hormones and we present a ...

Neurologic Clinics, 1985
Great strides have been made in the understanding of anatomy, physiology, pathology, diagnosis, and treatment of pituitary adenomas. The single greatest credit should probably be given to the rapid advancement in surgical techniques that ushered in a new era of multispecialty interest in the pituitary and its disorders.

Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 1988
In the last two decades, significant strides have been made in the diagnosis and management of pituitary tumors. The identification, isolation, and characterization of the anterior pituitary hormones, the developments of sensitive and specific radioimmunoassays, and the significant advances in neuroradiologic, neurosurgical, and pathologic techniques ...

Nonfunctioning Pituitary Tumors and Pituitary Incidentalomas [PDF]
Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2008 Clinically nonfunctioning adenomas (CNFAs) range from being completely asymptomatic, and therefore detected at autopsy or as incidental findings on head MRI or CT scans performed for other reasons, to causing significant hypothalamic/pituitary dysfunction and visual field compromise because of their large size.

PATHOGENESIS OF PITUITARY TUMORS
Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 1999Pituitary adenomas may hypersecrete hormones (including prolactin, growth hormone and adrenocorticotropic hormone, and rarely follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone or TSH) or may be nonfunctional. Despite their high prevalence in the general population, these tumors are invariably benign and exhibit features of differentiated pituitary cell

Management of Pituitary Tumors
Neurologic Clinics, 1986Pituitary adenomas represent the only true adenomas of the cranial cavity. In 1000 asymptomatic pituitary glands examined at autopsy, there was a 22.4 per cent incidence of undetected microadenomas. Advances in diagnostic endocrinology, in radiologic imaging, and in surgical and medical treatments have brought many more patients to the attention of the

Pituitary tumors and pregnancy
Growth Hormone & IGF Research, 2003Tumors vary in how they affect pregnancy depending upon the hormone secreted. Some hormone oversecretion syndromes must be controlled to allow pregnancy to proceed without undue maternal and fetal morbidity (Cushing's disease and hyperthyroidism) whereas treatment during pregnancy for other tumors is not necessary.

Angiogenesis and Pituitary Tumors
Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2009Pituitary adenomas often first manifest through visual symptoms. They are typically slow-growing and histologically benign tumors, but can become clinically destructive, invade adjacent structures, and recur after treatment. Unlike many other tumors that become aggressive and appear to depend upon angiogenesis in the process, pituitary adenomas tend to
