Pituitary Tumors
Printer-friendly versionPituitary tumors are abnormal growths that develop in or adjacent to your pituitary gland. Sometimes pituitary tumors can cause excessive production of hormones that regulate important functions of your body. Other times, pituitary tumors can restrict your pituitary gland, causing it to produce lower levels of hormones. Most pituitary tumors are noncancerous, non-spreading growths (adenomas). Adenomas remain confined to your pituitary gland or surrounding tissues and don't spread to other parts of your body.
Some symptoms that are seen from those with pituitary tumors are headaches, vision loss, watery nasal drainage, nausea and vomiting, hormonal changes, fatigue, weakness, cold intolerance, constipation, low blood pressure, body hair loss, sexual dysfunction, breast engorgement or discharge, and unintended weight loss or gain. Treatment for a pituitary tumor depends on your type of tumor, size, and location.
