Brain scan of pituitary adenoma

Pituitary adenoma is a benign (noncancerous) tumor that develops in the pituitary gland. This gland sits behind the eye and plays a key role in regulating hormones to help keep the body in balance. 

Choosing a Pituitary Adenoma Specialist in Florida

Pituitary adenomas can be classified as nonfunctioning or functioning. A nonfunctioning adenoma does not produce hormones and a functioning adenoma does. Treatment for pituitary adenoma varies based on if it’s nonfunctioning or functioning as well as the patient’s health history.
