Pituitary Tumor
A tumor, usually benign, of the pituitary gland, usually resulting in amenorrhea and
anovulation. Often there is an increase (sometimes substantial) in serum prolactin. If the
tumor is itself secreting prolactin it is called a prolactinoma. But other tumors can
occur, some of which secrete other pituitary hormones. |
