Answer to Question 2

Pituitary tumors are adenomas found in the pituitary gland. They are slow growing and most are benign. Autopsy data from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases indicates that 25 of the U.S. population has some form of small pituitary tumor. Pituitary tumors often present with signs and symptoms related to hypofunction or hyperfunction. Tumors that produce hormones are called functioning tumors, whereas those that do not produce hormones are called nonfunctioning tumors.
