What is pituitary adenoma?
Pituitary adenoma is a non-cancerous tumor that starts in the pituitary gland (a small, hormone-producing brain structure). These are usually slow-growing and do not cause symptoms at first. However, these tumors can grow large enough to compress nearby structures, which in turn causes symptoms such as headache or visual problems.
