This review focuses on recently published literature on pituitary tumors in children with special focus on craniopharyngioma and prolactinoma. Although most pituitary masses are benign neoplasms, they are associated with high morbidity and mortality related to their proximity to vital neurologic structures including the optic chiasm, hypophysis and ...

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

Nonfunctioning Pituitary Tumors and Pituitary Incidentalomas
Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2008Clinically 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.

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

Hormone Research in Paediatrics, 2007
<i>Background:</i> Pituitary tumors are common and usually grow insidiously over many years. Rarely fatal, treatment still requires multiple cytoreductive surgeries and/or radiation therapy with its attendant side effects. As a disease process of regulatory pathways, pituitary tumors offer numerous potential therapeutic targets, and many ...

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.

THE PATHOLOGY OF PITUITARY TUMORS
Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 1999The pathologist plays an important role in the distinction of pituitary adenomas from other tumors and tumor-like lesions of the sellar region, and in the accurate morphologic characterization of pitutiary adenomas. A clinicopathologic classification of pituitary adenomas is based on cell differentiation correlated with clinical evidence of hormone ...

Pathology - Research and Practice, 1988
Pituitary malignancies are rare. The definition of pituitary malignancy is still subject to debate. Three types of malignancy with the description of clinical course and complete autopsy were presented; i) true carcinosarcoma, ii) ectopic sphenoid invasive tumor, and iii) post-irradiation sarcoma.
