PITUITARY ADENOMA - MICRO VS MACRO DIFFERENTIATION

Pituitary adenomas constitute 10% of all intracranial neoplasms. They are classified anatomically based on size: micro-adenoma if less than 10mm and macro-adenoma if more than 10mm in diameter. They are also classified functionally based on whether there are secretory or non-secretory. The most common secretory macro-adenoma is the prolactinoma. Although pituitary micro-adenomas are much more common than macro-adenomas on pathologic examinations, macro-adenomas are twice as frequent on imaging studies. Macro-adenomas are the single most common suprasellar mass (1/3 to 1/2 of lesions). Prolactin-producing hypophyseal adenoma (prolactinoma) is the most common functional pituitary adenoma. Its prevalence peaks in women between 20 and 30 years of age. Hyperprolactinemia can be a cause of infertility and is associated with diminished gonadotropin secretion, secondary amenorrhea, and galactorrhea. When a patient is suspected to have hyperprolactinemia not associated with drugs,
