PITUITARY PATHOLOGY 2-1 ,MEDICINE AND ROBBINS

Pituitary gland pathology encompasses a range of disorders affecting the pituitary gland, which regulates crucial hormonal functions in the body. Common conditions include pituitary adenomas, which are benign tumors that can disrupt hormone production, leading to conditions like Cushing's disease, acromegaly, and prolactinoma. Hypopituitarism involves a deficiency in one or more pituitary hormones, resulting in symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and growth issues. Pituitary apoplexy, a medical emergency, is characterized by sudden hemorrhage or infarction of the gland. Diagnostic approaches often include MRI, blood tests, and hormone level assessments, while treatments can involve medication, radiation therapy, or surgery.
