Abstract

Pituitary tumors presentation: key concepts for an early clinical diagnosis

Cecchini G

Pituitary tumors are mainly represented by benign adenomas which arise from the adenohypophysis. Because of their pathophysiological characteristics, anterior hypophysis tumors can be generally divided in functional and nonfunctional. Being familiar with both possible clinical scenarios is extremely important to detect these benign tumors in the very early phase, thus making possible an extremely positive outcome in the vast majority of cases.
