English
malignant pituitary tumordefinition: malignant growth in the pituitary gland, a small organ, about the size of a pea, in the center of the brain just above the back of the nose. Symptoms may include headaches, difficult vision, nausea, or vomiting or any of a fairly wide range of symptoms, which depend on the type of pituitary tumor. Diagnostic procedures may include lab tests for hormone levels, a CT scan, and MRI. Treatment used is surgery, although transphenoidal hypophysectomy, craniotomy, or radiation therapy may be used, as well as certain drugs that block the pituitary from making too many hormones. (en)
