Hyperpituitarism
Disease of the glandular, anterior portion of the pituitary (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR) resulting in hypersecretion of ADENOHYPOPHYSEAL HORMONES such as GROWTH HORMONE; PROLACTIN; THYROTROPIN; LUTEINIZING HORMONE; FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE ; and ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE. Hyperpituitarism usually is caused by a functional ADENOMA.
Osteoporosis is more prevalent in adrenal than in pituitary Cushing's syndrome. (1/3)
Osteoporosis is the most common complication of Cushing's syndrome. We retrospectively examined the prevalence and risk factors for osteoporosis in 42 female patients with Cushing's syndrome. Osteoporosis and atraumatic fractures were assessed by bone mineral density of the lumbar vertebral spine (L2-L4) using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and X-ray examination. The prevalence of osteoporosis and fracture were 54.8% and 21.4%, respectively. The prevalence of osteoporosis (69.6% vs. 37.8%) and atraumatic bone fracture (26.1% vs. 15.8%) were significantly higher in patients with adrenal Cushing's than in those with pituitary Cushing's. AP and lateral BMD was significantly higher in patients with pituitary origin than in those with adrenal origin. Among several variables examined by multiple logistic regression, the etiology of Cushing's syndrome (adrenal vs. pituitary origin) was a significant factor affecting the prevalence of osteoporosis. Neither age, body mass index, duration of amenorrhea, nor extent of hypercortisolism were significant factors in this analysis. Plasma DHEA-S and urinary 17-KS excretion were significantly higher in pituitary Cushing's than in adrenal Cushing's. The present study shows that the prevalence of osteoporosis in patients with Cushing's syndrome is influenced by its etiology. A factor associated with pituitary Cushing's syndrome, such as adrenal androgen, may protect these patients from glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis.

(+info)The evaluation and management of subclinical pituitary disease. (3/3)
The advent of sophisticated and sensitive radiologic techniques has undoubtedly improved the evaluation of patients with established endocrine disease. An inevitable consequence of the increased sensitivity and widespread availability of modern imaging is, however, the discovery of apparently asymptomatic mass lesions in endocrine tissues. The clinician is then required to determine the appropriate degree of often uncomfortable and costly investigation in a patient with no overt disease. This article attempts to provide guidelines for the management of the 'pituitary incidentaloma', a pituitary mass lesion evident on a computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging scan performed for a reason other than the evaluation of the pituitary gland. (+info)Hyperpituitarism is a condition characterized by excessive secretion of pituitary hormones, which can lead to various systemic manifestations and endocrine disorders.
Hyperpituitarism is a medical condition characterized by excessive secretion of pituitary hormones due to abnormal functioning or enlargement (such as in the case of a pituitary adenoma) of the pituitary gland. This can lead to various endocrine disorders, depending on which hormone(s) are overproduced. For example, excess growth hormone (GH) secretion results in acromegaly or gigantism, while excessive prolactin leads to hyperprolactinemia and related symptoms like menstrual irregularities and galactorrhea. Treatment options include surgical removal of the pituitary tumor, radiation therapy, or medication to manage hormone levels.

- Hyperpituitarism is the overactivity of the pituitary gland leading to an excess of trophic hormones. (healthhype.com)
- Hypersecretion of anterior lobe hormones (hyperpituitarism) is almost always selective, although occasionally a tumor hypersecretes both growth hormone and prolactin. (msdmanuals.com)
Acromegaly4
- Symptoms caused by hormone excess and associated mass effects include: Acromegaly Cushing's disease Hirsutism Visual field loss or double vision Excessive sweating Decreased libido Lethargy Headache Male lactation Muscle weakness Bruisability The cause of hyperpituitarism in most cases is due to pituitary adenomas.
