Hormonal Disorders

Pituitary adenomas

Pituitary adenomas are benign tumors that develop in the pituitary gland, a small gland located at the base of the brain. Despite being non-cancerous, pituitary adenomas can cause hormonal imbalances and disrupt normal pituitary function due to their size and location. Diagnosis of pituitary adenomas involves a combination of imaging studies, such as MRI or CT scans, to visualize the tumor, along with hormonal tests to assess hormone levels and identify any hormonal imbalances.
