    Extractions: PITUITARY TUMOR PROGRAM PITUITARY DIAGNOSES INDEX Cushing's syndrome is a debilitating endocrinopathy characterized by excessive cortisol levels in the blood which may be produced from tumors of the pituitary gland, adrenal glands (located above the kidneys) or from tumors or cancer arising elsewhere in the body (ectopic ACTH producing tumors). Cushing's disease refers specifically to excessive ACTH secretion by a pituitary adenoma. The cause of Cushing's Syndrome is a pituitary adenoma in over 70% of adults and in approximately 60-70% of children and adolescents. Most pituitary ACTH-secreting adenomas are small in size (microadenomas). Overall, Cushing's Disease is relatively rare, affecting 10 to 15 of every million people each year, and most commonly affects adults aged 20 to 50 years. Women account for over 70% of cases. Symptoms and signs of Cushing's syndrome and disease may include: Change in body habitus: weight gain in face (moon face), above the collar bone (supraclavicular) and on back of neck (buffalo hump) Skin changes with easy bruising, purplish stretch marks (stria) and red cheeks (plethora)

Yet, due to their infrequency as well as to symptomatic diversity, an initial diagnosis is frequently elusive and the subsequent management of pituitary disease can be complex. Quick Link to topics below Etiology Initial Workup Treatment Resources The pituitary gland is situated within the sella turcica of the sphenoid bone and is located anterior to the hypothalamus and inferior to the optic chiasm. The anterior lobe of the pituitary makes six hormones: Prolactin, ACTH, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), LH, FSH and growth hormone (GH) and the posterior lobe of the pituitary releases vasopressin (ADH) and oxytocin. The maintenance of appropriate levels of these hormones constitutes a major control mechanism for virtually all physiologic activities. Pituitary disease is most often caused by benign adenomas which are classified as either functioning (overproducing one or more hormones) or non-functioning. These uncommon lesions occur with an incidence of 35 cases per million per year. Pituitary disorders can also be caused by a variety of other etiologies including infiltrative, immunologic, ischemic, hypothalamic and metastatic disease as well as trauma.

I Have A Question To be diagnosed with a pituitary tumor or disease can be extremely frightening. Patients often feel sick from hormonal imbalances and may suffer from severe headaches or vision loss. Their physicians often know little about pituitary tumors and disorders and have few patient educational resources. Patient questions frequently asked include: Will I need surgery? Will I ever feel normal and be able to lead a functional life again? Will I be on medications for the rest of my life? How do I learn more about my disorder? Although the Internet offers a lot of information on pituitary tumors and other pituitary disorders, it can be a daunting task for a patient to sort through this vast pool of information. It can be difficult to determine what is credible and what is misleading. To promote meaningful patient education, the "Especially for Patients" section of the OHSU Pituitary Unit web site teaches the basics of pituitary disease, its management, and how to work with your doctor to make a diagnosis. It also includes an annotated list of useful web sites and other patient resources.

    Extractions: University of Iowa The pituitary gland has been called the body's "master" gland. It manages long-term growth, day-to-day functions, and reproductive processes. The gland produces eight hormones. It hangs from the base of the brain. When the gland does not work right, it may produce either too much or too little of one or more of the hormones. This causes changes elsewhere in the body. Disorders of the pituitary gland result from: CONGENITAL AND GENETIC PROBLEMS: These usually affect the supply of the hormones. For example, a low supply of growth hormone slows the growth of a child. Dwarfism or other problems can result. INJURY: A head injury may stop the gland from working. IMPAIRED BLOOD SUPPLY: When the blood supply is cut off by a growing tumor or aneurysm, the gland may not be able to function.

The pituitary sits behind and between the eyes where the optic nerves (carry information from the eyes to the back of the brain) cross. The gland is also surrounded by other nerves (cranial nerves III, IV, V, VI) and internal carotid arteries, which supply blood to the brain. Pituitary glands are called the master gland, because it regulates the function of other glands in the body by releasing chemicals known as hormones. These hormones include:

    Extractions: Surgical: Jack P. Rock, MD The Henry Ford Pituitary Disorders Center uses a team approach to the management of patients with pituitary tumors. A satisfactory outcome requires an informed patient and a health care team experienced in the management of pituitary tumors (neurosurgeons, endocrinologists, otolaryngologists, radiation therapists, ophthalmologists, nurses, and others). Thoughtful explanation by the team and full discussion between the patient and team will become the building blocks for satisfying and effective treatment. Pituitary tumors, called adenomas, are slow growing and generally are benign. A malignant pituitary tumor is extremely rare. The symptoms caused by pituitary tumors result from hormone over-secretion by the tumor, decreased hormone secretion by the normal pituitary gland and/or compromise to the visual system. To diagnose a pituitary tumor, a physician must evaluate the patient's medical history and perform a physical examination. Additional steps may include the measurement of hormone concentrations in the blood, radiological imaging of the pituitary gland (CT scan or MRI), and visual examination. Hormonal Abnormalities
