Abstract

[Pituitary adenomas can cause symptoms by hormonal hypersecretion. Hypersecretion of prolactin (PRL) is responsible for amenorrhea–galactorrhea in women and decreased libido in men, growth hormone (GH) for acromegaly, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) for Cushing’s disease, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) for hyperthyroidism. Tumor mass-related effects such as headaches, visual field abnormalities, and depression of hormonal secretion (hypopituitarism) may also be present.]
